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: Pioneer Square
Day: TBD
Time: TBD
Leaders: Royce & Uriah
About: A gathering for artists, creatives, and curious people exploring art, faith & the common good.
What if our creative work could be a place where we explore what we believe, make meaning together, and contribute to the healing of our communities?
The Creative Commons is an emerging gathering in Pioneer Square for artists and creatives interested in the intersection of art, faith, spirituality, and social change. We’ll share our work and ideas, have meaningful conversations, and explore how creativity can be a force for healing, advocacy, justice, awareness, and belonging.
We’re committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming space where people of all identities, backgrounds, faiths, spiritualities, and beliefs are welcomed and valued—including those who don’t identify with a particular faith. Come curious. Come creative. Come ready to listen, learn from one another, and to imagine together how art can be used for the common good.

Location: Bellevue Botanical Gardens (Copper Kettle Coffee Bar)
Day: Fridays
Time: 12pm - 1pm
Leaders: Royce & Angel
About: Pause. Reflect. Connect.
What if lunch could be more than just another thing on your calendar? What if it could be a time to nourish not only your body, but your soul—to slow down, breathe, connect, and be present to what matters?
The Midday Table is a weekly Friday contemplative gathering at Bellevue Botanical Gardens (inside the cafe or outside, weather permitting) where we make intentional space to pause, reflect, and connect with others. Whether Friday is the end of your workweek, a day off, or simply a good day to gather, there’s room for you at the table. Bring your lunch, grab a bite or a drink at the cafe, or just pull up a chair.
Each week, we’ll spend one hour together using a variety of different contemplative prayer devotionals as our guide. We’ll begin with a simple contemplative exercise, take some time to notice and reflect on God’s presence, and then open the conversation to share what we’re noticing, learning, or carrying with us. We’ll close with space for prayer and reflection.
The format is intentionally simple and structured so we can make the most of our hour together and respect everyone’s time. No preparation is required, and you don’t need to have a particular faith background or experience with contemplative practices to participate.
All are welcome, come as you are.

Location: Various in-person locations & online
Day: First Sundays (in-person) / Third Tuesdays (virtual)
Time: 12:30pm / 6pm
Leader: Jason
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.

Location: Renton
Day: 1st and 3rd Fridays on the month
Time: 6:30pm
Leader: Matt
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: Eastside (Renton & Issaquah)
Day: Saturday 1x a month
Time: 11:00am
Leaders: Lyanne, Austin, April, Abe
About: Led by Lyanne, Austin, Abe & April, Soda Pop is back but with more kids, less sleep, and earlier start times. Originally a co-op from 2018, Soda Pop: Next Gen is for parents of young kids, parents-to-be, and anyone entering this wonderfully chaotic season of life. We wanted to create a space where we can share in community, commiserate over the hard stuff, celebrate the good stuff, and figure out parenting and life together.
We’ll gather once a month on a Saturday morning for breakfast or brunch—late enough to get everyone out the door, early enough to work around those all-important nap schedules. Expect good food, honest conversation, kids underfoot, and plenty of grace when someone inevitably shows up late.
Come as you are. We’re figuring it out too.

Location: Greater Seattle (different locations)
Day: Thursdays
Time: 6:30pm
Leaders: Rachel and Andrew
About: Rachel and Andrew 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!
