Mission: Growing food. Breaking bread. Welcoming all.
Vision: Just and loving relationships with one another and the earth.

Common Life Church & Farm is a new United Church of Christ ministry getting started in Saxapahaw, NC. We seek loving and just relationships with human and non-human creation from the perspective of a prophetic and progressive Christian witness. Our spiritual practices of Table Church worship and gardening together are the cornerstones of our values of developing authentic relationships and living in reverent, interdependent relationship with the land.

Your gift today enables Common Life to engage our community through outreach and welcome everyone to share a meal with us at Table Church worship services and connect with creation through gardening as spiritual practice. All donations here, up to $10,000, will be MATCHED by a generous anonymous donor. Help us reach our goal and double the impact of your gift! (All gifts are tax-deductible.)

At Common Life, we practice embodied and relational worship. We worship by gardening together and sharing a meal with holy communion at the center. Our faith engages our intellect, emotions, and bodies. We seek to live in right relationship with God, one another, and creation. Your gift will help our pastor and Leadership Team invite people into a welcoming, inclusive faith community.

We are committed to growing food for our community that is healthy for people and the earth. Our farming efforts are first and foremost a spiritual practice of connecting with God and creation, but will provide income to help sustain our church and ministry. Our sustainable agriculture practices enhance soil health, purify water and air, and sequester carbon from the atmosphere. Your gift will help Common Life hire a Farm Manager and buy seeds, organic fertilizers (e.g. compost), and other farming materials.

Common Life Church & Farm serves a diverse, rural community, and is located in the village of Saxapahaw in central North Carolina, about one hour each way from the Triangle (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill) and Greensboro.

Thank you for your support!
