Rooted is a 10-week discipleship experience designed to help you grow in your relationship with Jesus and build authentic community. Through teaching, prayer, and shared experiences, you’ll explore core aspects of faith and discover what it means to live fully devoted to Christ. Registration is required and includes your materials, launch night experience, and childcare for the duration of Rooted.
Rooted also serves as the launching point for new City Groups and establishes group DNA beyond the initial 10-week Rooted experience. All groups who participate in Rooted have the plan and desire to become ongoing City Groups when Rooted concludes.
