Why Life Groups?
Life Groups are an extension of your Rooted experience, designed to equip you to study God’s Word, practice spiritual rhythms, and change the world in community. Already been through Rooted and need help finding a new Life Group? Let us help you find, join, or start a group of your own.
If you haven’t been through Rooted, it is the place to begin!

Life Groups meet regularly in homes, coffee shops, parks, or anywhere in-between to study God’s Word, primarily through our weekly sermon discussion questions, practice the same spiritual rhythms experienced through Rooted, and change the world through our Outreach ministries.
Life Groups tend to meet either weekly or bi-weekly on different days and times. Most groups meet for 10 weeks at a time with breaks built in throughout the year.
