Rooted Kick-Off
Rooted is a ten-week small group experience designed to connect you to God, the church, and your purpose. Together, in a group of 10-15 people from all walks of life, you’ll explore the Bible, engage in prayer and serve experiences, share stories, and practice rhythms essential to a healthy spiritual life. These spiritual rhythms aren’t new or something the church recently created; they can be found in Acts 2, where the early church began. We will provide you with a trained facilitator to come alongside your group to help you get the most out of the experience.
Rooted is available twice a year, in the Fall and the Spring.
Sign-ups are open now for our Fall session of Rooted. The first session starts September 7, 2025.
The deadline to sign up is August 31.
