Doing life in community.

Re-imagining spaces where everyone can belong.

 

Welcome to CO-OPS at Common Good!

CO-OPS are smaller to mid-sized gatherings that take place throughout the week in homes, coffee shops, restaurants, parks and even virtually online.

These gatherings are re-imagining spaces for face-to-face connection that cultivate shared ownership, meaningful relationships, and aren’t limited to church buildings and geography. They create an inviting and inclusive place — one that’s accessible to everyone, no matter who you are, what you believe, where you come from, or who you know.

CO-OPS gather around different shared interests, season of life, geography, or even causes and engage together in various activities such as discussing sermons, bible studies, topical discussions, sharing meals and enjoying recreational activities.

If you’re interested in doing life together in community, CO-OPS are the place for you.

    • Location: Seattle (different locations)

    • Day: Thursdays

    • Time: 6:30pm

    • About: Rachel, Andrew, and Jason here! We are so excited to start another Co-Op season here in Seattle. Our meetings focus on developing relationships with each other and having conversations about faith-based topics, but we also offer a variety of opportunities for community building. You can find us playing volleyball at Green Lake, making dumplings for Lunar New Year, or even renting a cabin for a weekend retreat. Our goal is to cultivate a welcoming environment- where people can feel safe enough to ask vulnerable questions and feel celebrated for who they are. We take the name “co-operative” quite literally, and encourage feedback and suggestions to cater this co-op for everyone and meet you where you are on your journey. If that sounds like a group that you’re interested in hanging out with, please reach out, and we can get you connected!

    • About: Hey I'm Oscar. I've been leading a co-op for the past couple of years now and I really enjoy creating fun and safe spaces for people to gather. It's definitely been a way for me and others to stay connected in community through all of life's ups and downs. We pray, discuss sermons, do bible studies, and play games. Come join the fam!

    • Location: Renton

    • Day: 1st and 3rd Fridays on the month

    • Time: 6:30pm

    • About: Hi, I’m Matt! A typical co-op gathering includes dinner and a casual conversation about recent sermons, current events, or other topics we may be interested in. We welcome people in any season of life, but we’re particularly family-friendly, meaning the kids currently outnumber the adults. Our kids are an integral part of our co-op life, so we organize time for them to learn, discuss, and play. We meet on the 1st and 3rd Fridays of each month, with opportunities built in for the adults to hang out outside of those gatherings. We’re an informal, friendly bunch, and we look forward to meeting you!

  • Location: Seattle

    Day: First Sundays (in-person) / Third Tuesdays (virtual)

    Time: 12:30pm / 6pm

    About: Hello, I'm Jason (he/him)! This co-op is for anyone who identifies—or is questioning their identity—within the LGBTQIA+ community. At Common Good, we believe everyone deserves a space to come as they are and be met with acceptance, support, and belonging. I hope this group can be that for you.

    We’ll have two optional gatherings per month: in-person on the first Sunday of every month after church at different spots around Bellevue—like a park, café, or restaurant—and virtually on the third Tuesdays of every month.

    As a gay cis-man, I know how lonely it can feel to hold both faith and sexuality together. Our time together isn’t about having all the answers or following a set structure. It’ll be a place where you can bring your questions, your hurts, and your joys; a space to heal, challenge, lament, and laugh together. Your participation is private and will not be shared outside the group without your consent.

    To join, email me directly at jason@commongood.church or click the “Join a Co-op” link above to complete the sign-up form. Come as you are.
