Our Story

Common Ground Church was founded by Pastors Mike and Kelly during an outreach at the annual Street Painting Festival in Lake Worth Beach. From a small core of believers, was birthed a new church in downtown Lake Worth. The church began meeting in the back of a pizza shop called Rotellis on Lake Ave.  As the church grew, the next stop was NorthGrade Elementary.  This was a wonderful place to meet but we missed being downtown so we were able to meet in various locations on South J Street, including the Bamboo Room and Common Grounds Brew and Roastery.  Today, Common Ground Church has a home at 1201 S Federal Hwy. and is continually reaching out to the community.

“After waiting and praying for the right opportunity, God opened the doors of our new facility where we worship today.“
