Frequently Asked Questions
What is Rooted?
Rooted is a 10-week discipleship experience that seeks to connect people with God, their purpose, and the church. Rooted isn’t simply a Bible study or a book. It is a community experience, where people practice 7 rhythms essential to a healthy relationship with Jesus.
Participants establish firm roots in the Truth of God’s Word through personal study and then come together weekly to discuss what they’re learning in a space where they are safe and known. In addition to the regular weekly meetings, Rooted includes a Serve Experience and Prayer Experience. We will provide you with a facilitator who is trained to come alongside your group to help you get the most out of the experience.
How will I be placed in a Rooted group?
You will be placed in a newly created Rooted group. Our staff will seek discernment when assigning people to a group and a leader. When we have followed this process in the past, we have seen God do what only He can by providing the right blend of group members and leaders.
How is Rooted different than other Bible studies?
Rooted is not just another Bible study, and it's not a typical discipleship program. Unlike most programs or studies, it is both an experience and a journey. It will involve five days of short homework preparation each week, which includes writing prayers to God, journaling, listening, and being challenged to grow in new ways. In fact, if you’re willing to invest in it completely, your life perspective may be completely transformed.

What if I cannot make all ten weeks?
We understand that Rooted is a large time commitment, but we believe it is worth it to invest in the entire process. If you know you are going to miss more than 2 meetings, we ask that you wait until the next session of Rooted. The 10 weeks are a cumulative experience, and so we ask that every participant commit to honor each other with being at every meeting.
Rooted is for anyone and everyone, whether a seasoned believer or a brand-new believer. This class will help you grow in your relationship with the Lord, no matter where you are in your walk.
