Life is simply better together. Each of us was created to be in relationship, not only with God, but with one another. When we gather with other believers and grow in our faith together, we experience life as God intended—in community.
In the context of an authentic and caring community, we can dig deeper into God’s Word with others, support and pray for one another, share our struggles and brokenness, serve together, and guide others to Jesus. If you’re searching for this type of community and are wondering where to start, we encourage you to check out our next session of Rooted, a 9-week small group experience designed to connect you to God, the church, and your purpose.
Together, in a group of 10-15 people from all walks of life, you’ll explore the Bible, engage in prayer and serve experiences, share stories, and practice rhythms essential to a healthy spiritual life. These spiritual rhythms aren’t new, or something the church recently created; every one of them is found in Acts 2 where the early Church began. We will also provide you with a facilitator who is trained to come alongside your group to help you get the most out of the experience. At the completion of your Rooted journey, you’ll have the opportunity to continue growing together in a Life Group, where you can go even deeper in community with your fellow Rooted graduates.
Thousands of people have been through Rooted at Mariners and other churches around the world and every Rooted session we hear stories of amazing transformation, healing, and growth. If you’ve never done Rooted, now is the time! Our Spring Session, with in-person groups available, begins Apr 13. If you have done Rooted, sign up to facilitate and help create a great Rooted experience for others! We will equip you with everything you need to lead well.
