What does this look like?

That’s how most things around here begin. We look for answers to that question.

In 2009, we asked ourselves:  What would happen if women left their generational and denominational differences at the door, stood on their common ground as women who love Jesus? 

What if we could harness that unity to take God’s love from the pews to the pavement - and truly make make a difference in our communities?

The idea was simple.

Create a space where women could gather, worship Jesus together, be challenged and encouraged with Jesus focused teaching, spotlight another ministry or organization and help them thrive by collecting items to help their cause. That vision became Common Ground: Girls Night with a God focus.

Today, women representing more than 80 churches across the Detroit metropolitan area gather four times a year at Connection Church in Canton, Michigan.  Every Common Ground stays true the original vision; a free gathering with Christ-centered worship, a biblical message that points women to Jesus, an outreach spotlight and an afterparty snack!

What began as a question has become a movement of women choosing unity, purpose, and impact.

As God continued to grow the ministry, in 2026 He expanded the vision.

From that same heart was born EST.HER: For Such A Time as This.

While Common Ground invites women to gather and grow together, EST.HER is designed to challenge women to step boldly into who God has created them to be. Through powerful worship and voices from multiple generations, women are encouraged to embrace their divine purpose, walk confidently in their God-given identity, and take their established place in His Kingdom.

Though each event offers a unique experience, they share on mission:

To lead women into the presence of God, strengthen their faith in Jesus Christ, unite the body of Christ and equip women to live out their Kingdom purpose - taking God’s love beyond the church walls and into the world.

This is more than a ministry.

It’s a movement of women who believe that when we stand together in Christ, God can use ordinary women to accomplish extraordinary things.

We’d love for you to join us.
