ROOTED EXPERIENCE

NEXT EXPERIENCE LAUNCH = January 25th, 2026

Rooted facilitates life-change through group discussion, biblical exploration, and practical learning. Weekly readings teach discipleship through Scripture, prayer, worship, generosity, and service.

ROOTED EXPERIENCE

The Rooted experience takes groups in the church on a 10-week journey of learning and practice. Groups learn foundational Christian beliefs and practice the 7 rhythms of discipleship from the New Testament. The experience challenges and inspires participants to step beyond their comfort zone as they follow Jesus.

ROOTED IS DESIGNED TO CONNECT YOU TO GOD, THE CHURCH, AND YOUR PURPOSE.
