The Common Thread Community is a collective. It is a movement of people within the body of Christ seeking to use every aspect of their lives to make the name and renown of Christ glorious. In essence, Common Thread is our local church.
Common Thread can be seen as a tree, with three distinct branches. We have titled these branches; Rooted, Resource, and Reach.
Rooted is our church planting initiative. We desire through life, and community to plant churches primarily in homes or storefronts both locally and globally. To move our lives and our families into these specific areas as the Spirit leads us. Particularly in areas where we see the church not as present. Currently we have four church plants, that we call Gospel Communities. They are located in 5 points, Glenn Iris, Bluff Park, and Chelsea. All in Alabama.
Resource is our creative business initiative. We desire to develop or innovate businesses in order to generate resources and build community for the work of the gospel. We are in year two of our first creative business called Seeds Coffee Company located in Homewood, Alabama.
Reach is our missional outreach initiative. Simply put, this is the branch where our mission of loving the least of these, caring for orphans and widows, taking the gospel to the unreached, and many other things will most effectively flesh itself out. We have three expressions that are fully functioning parts of our Reach division. Sojourn is our ministry to international students and families. Blessed Hope is our orphan ministry with a focus of both local and global orphan care. And Indelible Worship is our ministry through music and teaching, focused on empowering the body through corporate worship, scripture memory, and song writing.
There is no distinction in any of the three branches of Common Thread that we would deem one as more important than the other. But rather that all three work in conjunction with one another to make up our local church and mission.
