Rooted is a 10 week curriculum designed to connect you to God at a deeper level, to the church community and designed to help you discover your purpose here on earth and begin to live that out. ROOTED is for everyone! Why does Rooted work so well? It capitalizes on experiential learning during the weekly group gathering. Research has proven that one of the most powerful ways we retain information is through experience. Rooted isn’t just about head knowledge, it’s about taking risks and actually doing things Jesus did. A ROOTED group will practice 7 rhythms essential to a healthy relationship with Jesus – daily devotion, prayer, freedom from strong holds, sacrificial generosity, serving the community, sharing your story and celebrating. These spiritual disciplines are foundational to the life of a Christ Follower.
