3 day 2 night adventure with an Extreme Makeover



In recent weeks, we have started a new partnership opportunity call Extreme Makeover - Common Ground edition. This is a chance for churches to come and really invest in our ministry.

As you may know, we have a facility that needs some TLC. Common Ground needs you help with everything from painting walls, removing carpet, cleaning out rooms, and the like. Churches are coming as family groups, college teams, or whatever combination they chose to bring based off of their project of choice.

Churches have begun to partner with us already. Ho do they do this?
1. Target a day to take a special offering and then do so.
2. Pick a weekend after your offering has been taken and come serve.

What can you expect if your church partners with Common Ground?
Friday night you can come to the church buliding and hear the need and see the projects. (Housing can be provided.) Saturday will be spent working hard on the room your church has resourced along with other needs within the building. Saturday night we will have a special outing for your group. Sunday we will host a worship service for you and your team. This service will include a time for music, teaching, testimony, and a short prayer walk. All of your construction needs will be provided per the special offering. Meals and housing will be provided for a small fee per person. (Each trip is customized for each church's need but estimated cost would be $20-30 per person.)
