Commons, The (Hamilton, Ontario, Canada)
The Commons in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada, was an urban/inner-city congregation under Randell Neudorf's leadership. A faith community beginning in 2001, it became a Mennonite Church Eastern Canada emerging congregation in April 2013.
After 2005 the group worshipped on Sunday evenings in the Beasley neighborhood of Hamilton. With a core group of 15–20 people, The Commons was a church community committed to living the Good News wherever it found itself. All scripture, programs, and ideas were seen through the lenses of seven values: Justice, Hope, Beauty, Authenticity, Truth, Community, and Peace.
It concluded its service on 24 December 2020.
