What is Rooted?
Rooted is a 10-week small group discipleship experience.
Designed to be more than “just another curriculum,” Rooted challenges you to put into action the things you learn within community. At its core, Rooted helps us live out the rhythms of following Jesus.
In addition to the daily practices of individual reading and reflection, you will experience prayer, service, and celebration as a group. Each week, the Rooted material asks thought-provoking questions, guides our groups in conversations, and pushes us to go deeper as we learn to see God as he really is. The beauty is, you aren’t alone in that journey.
Whether you have been following Jesus for decades or question whether he is even real, Rooted is a safe place to explore and grow. Join Rooted for a life-changing experience!
How do I register and what does it cost?
Registration is easy! Just click the “Register” button and follow the steps. The cost is $35/person to go through the course which includes all sessions, your workbook and other materials, and our Celebration Dinner at the end. If a scholarship would be helpful, you may request one upon registration.
Is childcare available?
Childcare is available for children aged 3 months-5th grade with registration, and is $20 a child for the session, with a max of $40/family. This cost includes a healthy snack and scholarships are available for childcare as well. If your child has dietary restrictions, we ask you to pack a snack for him/her individually. Of course, please leave the peanuts/peanut butter at home.
What is the time commitment?
Your Rooted group will meet weekly 10 times, 6pm-8pm, as well as gathering for a group serve experience sometime during the 10-Week session at an agreed upon date and time. In addition, between meetings, individuals will have 5 days/week devotional readings and journaling reflections.
Don’t worry….these are intended to help you develop personal rhythms. It’s not about perfection, but doing your best to create consistency. Your group and leaders will be there to encourage you, not monitor you!
Where will my Rooted group meet?
All Rooted groups meet at the church in their own classroom or space that the Rooted team reserves for you.
How will my Rooted group be chosen?
Our Rooted Team will prayerfully place people into groups. If you have a request to be with a certain person, please let us know upon registration.
What if I can't make it for all of the weeks?
We realize that Rooted is a large time commitment, but we believe it is worth it. If you know you are going to miss more than 2 of the meetings, you may choose to wait for a season that better fits your schedule. The session is a cumulative experience, so each member doing their best to attend consistently will make a difference.
Will food be provided during the weekly gatherings?
Though you are more than welcome to bring your own food, or even potluck with your Rooted Group, the Rooted team will not be providing food for your gatherings. This is with the exception of Launch night (refreshments and snacks) and the Celebration (full dinner).
