We’ll wrap up the day by 4:00 PM.

Yes, Your spouse is welcome at the Friday night dinner. They will need to register for this.

No, if you don’t think any of the breakout sessions are for you, then you can use this time as you like. A designated space will be available for those who wish to connect with others, or you may prefer to grab a coffee at a local coffee shop, go shopping, or simply enjoy a personal retreat to spend time alone with the Lord.

In addition to our breakout sessions, we’ll have two main sessions with our keynote speaker, Mark Chapple.
These sessions will be uplifting and encouraging for everyone. Throughout the day, we’ll also spend time in worship and prayer.

There will be resources available for purchase, as well as some exciting giveaways throughout the day!

No, Common ground is for everyone who attends a Baptist Church in the Western Region.

Yes, This year there will be a kids program for those aged 2-12. Younger children are welcome to sit in the sessions with you.

The kids program will be available during the morning sessions only. Please note that there will be no kids program during the afternoon breakout sessions. To help make the afternoon accessible for families, we’ve scheduled two breakout session times so parents can “tag team” if needed — allowing each parent the opportunity to attend a session while swapping child-minding responsibilities.
