The Sanctuary Course
The Sanctuary Course is a small-group opportunity designed to reduce stigma, raise awareness, and engage individuals in meaningful conversations about mental health and faith. Each of the eight Sanctuary sessions examines a key mental health topic accompanied by Scriptural insight. Through exercises in listening, safety, and engagement, participants will come to better understand mental health challenges within a biblical context, identify and deal with stigma, discover self-help methods to reduce stress, and learn the strength of education and group support.
The course will meet for 8 weeks, starting on Oct 5th.
There is no cost for signing up, but registration will close after the first two weeks.
Ages young adult and up.
Any questions regarding the course can be directed towards Gregg Jennings at greg@commongroundva.com.
CGY - Parents Talking Tech with Grit and Grace
Teens are growing up in a world designed to capture their attention. Both theologically and sociologically, we become what we put our faces in front of and it’s easy for parents to feel powerless. However, technology doesn’t have to control your children (or you!). Join other parents asking the same questions: How can we guide our kids to use screens well, live intentionally, and cultivate hearts and minds in God’s ways? Come explore practical, faith-rooted approaches to help your teen engage technology with wisdom, care, and resilience—while building rhythms that nurture your whole family. We may not all walk away with the same applications, but we can have the conversation!
Join us in the Sanctuary during CGY!

Join us for a fun, hands-on course where kids will discover the meaning, magic, and mystery of baptism—the way Jesus showed us to start our faith journey! We’ll explore Bible stories, learn about how the early church celebrated baptism, and hear how this special step connects us to God and our church family.
