About Us

Why a Commons?

We have an opportunity to join God in producing new communities of God’s people bringing hope in difficult times.

We need each other to get over the hurdles that keep drawing us back to what has been safe and comfortable in the institutionalism of some existing models of church.

What will we do?

We want to resource and train, encourage and equip, a movement of people who will not fall back into some existing ruts where we have done our own thing, but rather discern where God is at work. Through our various offerings, we will craft conversations cultivating new communities of God’s people dwelling in neighbourhoods.
