A common place for the flourishing of the surrounding community.

Seeking Shalom

Engage.
Fund.
Sustain.

Shalom is what we long for in our own lives and in the lives of others in our community. It is a multifaceted word meaning completeness, safety, soundness, welfare, health, prosperity, peace, quiet, tranquility, contentment, and friendship. We believe God’s promise in Jeremiah 29:7 that as we seek the shalom of our community we will find it for ourselves “for in its shalom you will find your shalom.”

Shalom animates everything we do

It is our desire to see our community thrive and experience shalom. We believe the local church is the God-ordained means to bring shalom, and it is our passion to use Central Commons to serve each of our neighbors.

Community

Located inside Central Commons

Third spaces have been disappearing across the country: the first being where you live, the second being where you work, and the third being where you have meaningful interactions with your neighbors. The loss of these spaces leads to fragmentation in civil society. We see coffee shops as an opportunity to bring our surrounding neighborhoods together (Oak Lawn, Greenway Parks, Love Field, and Highland Park). You can find Westside Coffee inside the Central Commons church building. Join us for a great cup of coffee and community!
