Common Ground, an Evening of Prayer and Fellowship

“They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common.” – Acts 2:42-44

Common Ground is a student-led space for sisters and brothers to unite in prayer, worship, and fellowship! Join us as we cry out for God to work in mighty ways in our community, world, and lives!
