Welcome to Common Grounds Online. Readers of Common Grounds have suggested a website to continue the explorations they began in the book. In keeping with the interactions of Professor MacGregor, Brad, Lauren and Jarrod, the theme of this site is ‘learning and living the Christian story.’

I could not help but be captured by how they played with all they had for a greater purpose. I desire to "play" that way in my life as a Christ follower. Thanks for the lesson, Mountaineers!
