ROOTED
Rooted is more than a Bible study or a book. It is a ten-week community experience where we learn to practice seven rhythms essential to a healthy relationship with Jesus. Together, we will explore how to establish firm roots in the Truth of God’s Word through personal study. Then we’ll come together in a space where we feel safe and known to discuss what we’re learning. The seven rhythms we will explore together are: daily God Time, prayer, freedom from strongholds, sacrificial generosity, serving the community, sharing our stories, and celebrating.
