Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

Rooted is more than a Bible study, program, seminar, or small group. In a world that is experiencing a pandemic, racial tensions, political discord, anxiety, isolation, mental health challenges, and emptiness, Rooted offers group experiences designed to help you see God and hear His voice in new and surprising ways, and connect with other people on a similar journey through life. Rooted is a catalyst for life change.

The Rooted Experience launches this coming Wednesday, January 18, 2023.
