We Believe:

The Bible is our authoritative guide.

2 Timothy 3:16—17

Spiritual formation happens through church rhythms:

Communion — abiding in Christ
Community — discipleship and belonging
Compassion — loving and serving the overlooked

We stand in historic orthodox Christianity, embracing creeds like Nicene and Apostles’.

Authentic discipleship over mere attendance—“be doers of the word, not just hearers”.

James 1:22

Love is central—without love, all else is meaningless.

1 Corinthians 13

About Common Church

Russell and Megan Marshall have been married since 2016 and have three boys: Moses, Ozzy, and Rory. For the past seven years, they have led a missional expression of church in Dwell Apartment Communities on Franklin Gateway. Their mission was to expose their neighbors to the Gospel through word and deed—loving God, neighbor, and one another in the everyday stuff of life, so their neighbors might see and experience God’s love and presence.

Joy Funk joins them as Children’s Pastor. Joy has been actively involved in church planting throughout her years as a youth and has served as one of StoneBridge Church’s children’s pastors for the past year. She and her husband Brandon have three children: Daphne, Bobby, and Polly. Together, they feel confident that God is inviting them to join Him in the work He is doing, and trust He is inviting others to do the same.
