COMMON GROUND

Making a difference in Cedar Grove through caring relationships
and compassionate outreach

Who We Are

We are a group from all backgrounds putting feet to our faith at our community center in the Cedar Grove neighborhood of Shreveport, Louisiana.

What We Do

We love all people without judgment or expectations and provide a safe place of common ground. We believe every person is a worthy and valuable creation of a loving God. We live life together as neighbors and friends, developing deep, meaningful relationships.

How We Do This

We provide opportunities for educational, spiritual, and personal growth to strengthen self-sufficiency and to encourage a hopeful pathway for the future. We have children’s programs, mentoring for young people, host a community meal, provide food and clothing, and garden together.

Why do we spell it LVOE?

The founders of Common Ground did a lot of emailing in the early days and one of the group always misspelled “love” as “lvoe.” It happened so often that it took on a special meaning. “LVOE” became a symbol of the love we show at Common Ground. While we strive to show Christ’s perfect love everyday, we are imperfect and must continue to work towards it.

Come get a tour!

We would love to show you around! Give the office a call at 318.606.5024 to schedule a tour of our space.

Join us on Thursdays!

At 5 p.m., we have a chapel service in our renovated multi-use activity center. At 5:30 p.m., our friends come into the main center and get our weekly hot meal. They can either eat it there or take it home. They can also head to the food pantry where they “shop” and select the items that they want from the shelves. We do need volunteers to help on Thursday nights. Contact us if you want more info.
