Community Impact/ Mission Trip Partners for 09

Each year brings new churches and new partners for us to work with and 2009 is our best year for making connections.

2009 will have our regular partnerships like...

Somebody Cares Tampa Bay

Paint Your Heart Out Tampa (South Seminole Heights)

CareFest 09

but 2009 will also bring some new partnerships to the table as well. While we have worked with these groups in the past, 2009 is targeting a more intentional and strategic partnership this year.

We are making plans to work with these community friends

Broward Elementary: Thru tutoring and community events to serve our families.

Second Harvest: By providing and targeting some food relief to individuals and families.

Metropolitan Ministries: By helping feed, clothe, and rehabilitate homeless families in our community.

These groups will be our primary ministries as we mobilize for community impact through Common Ground and the partners who come and serve on mission trips with us. Tampa is so fortunate to have so many great ministries and organization who are making a real difference in our communities.

Thank You Suncrest Christian Church






Thank you so much to Suncrest Christian Church. They came and served the weekend with us from Oct. 30 - Nov. 2, 2008. They served in a variety of areas, but mostly got a chance to experience our Fall Festival as over 400 came on our campus.

Suncrest Christian Church is from St. John, IN and has been a major supportor to Common Ground since our beginning. We thank God for partners like Suncrest Christian Church.
