Common Ground Ministries is a singing and prison ministry based in Berlin, Ohio.  Our focus is the Ohio Corrections system which includes 32 state prison facilities and one Federal Correctional Institution.  In a typical year CGM will perform approximately 100 prison chapel services (in 50 prisons).

We also go to churches, camps, concerts, banquets,... wherever we are invited.  Our purpose is to present the gospel through song.

  • A GOSPEL TRIBUTE TO THE CARTER FAMILY

    John Carter Cash emailed me a very short message: "It was good to have you at the Cabin.  Come back anytime."

    I took him serious and in June I went to Hendersonville again and recorded 11 gospel songs by A.P. Carter, and one song by Nashville song writer, James Elliot.  In August, my wife, Lydia, and our three children went down to record the background voices, along with The Whites, Stephen Hill and Laura Cash. 

    Look for this recording sometime in late Fall.  I think it's going to be a great (even if I do say so myself)!
