The Common Ground Guildford Community is an open one. It is not residential and people remain part of their churches. People join as members by making a pledge to the Community Way of Life which involves prayer, sharing together and going (to offer the Christian message in fresh ways). Common Ground Guildford is made up of Christians from various Guildford Town Centre churches and supported (especially in prayer) by others who live elsewhere. |

Oversight Committee |
|
Rector of Holy Trinity St Mary |
|
Common Ground Guildford is made up of Christians from various Guildford Town Centre churches and supported (especially in prayer) by others who live elsewhere. It meets under the legal umbrella of Holy Trinity St Mary's Guildford, whose Rector is responsible for St Mary's church where Common Ground meets. Common Ground Guildford has a small Oversight Group, which reports to Holy Trinity St Mary's PCC and Rector to make sure stewardship obligations and accountabilities are fulfilled. |
|
The support of the Rector of Holy Trinity St Mary's, the town centre parish is key to Common Ground. This includes permission to use St Mary's as a base and the framework within which it can operate. |
