Welcome to Common Grace Grounds

Sometimes we need room to slow down, someone willing to listen, and a place where we can simply be ourselves.

Common Grace Grounds is a Christian ministry where horses, meaningful work, fitness, and community create opportunities for connection and care. Our hope is that these ordinary gifts point people toward lasting purpose, identity, and rest in Jesus Christ.

A Story Still Being Written

Common Grace Grounds grew from years of ministry, a love for horses, and a property being restored.

Along the way, our family discovered that the place we were working to restore was also becoming a place where we could receive care and rest. What began as something God was doing in our own lives became something we wanted to share.

Today, we are opening the Grounds to others—with room for relationship, meaningful work, and the quiet moments that are so easy to miss.

Get to Know Us

Every Horse Has a Story

Meet our horses

Each horse brings a different history and personality to life at Common Grace Grounds. Some are learning to trust. Others seem happiest when someone is simply close by.

Their stories remind us of the value of patience, consistent care, and taking time to know one another.

Meet Our Horses

Help Make This Place Possible

Every horse cared for, fence repaired, and meal shared helps make room for someone to come through the gate and be welcomed.

Your time, skills, and generosity support the everyday work of Common Grace Grounds and our goal of providing Individual Sessions free of charge. Whether you give financially or lend a hand, you can help this ministry serve others.
