Rooted is a catalyst for life change that provides the opportunity to connect with God, the church community, and your purpose in unexpected and life-changing ways.
This 10-week experience provokes questions and conversations and offers a safe space and group experiences designed to give you a glimpse of your story in God's story.
Rooted is for people in every life stage, wherever they are in their faith journey. The weekly readings teach us what it means to be a follower of Jesus by experiencing foundational elements of Christianity such as scripture, prayer, worship, generosity, and service.
