You will receive your group roster at the first Rooted Online Leader Gathering. It will be in a google Sheets doc, but will also be added onto Rock Portal.
Please note that your roster will likely change within the first 2 weeks of Rooted due to drop-outs and add-ins. Before Kick-Off, you will want to email your group, welcome them and sent them the meeting Zoom link.
If you already have a Zoom account great, if you do not, we will add you to ours.
If you have any questions reach out to Justin.
As a facilitator, you have the ability to view, manage and make updates to your group roster through the My Mariners portal, under Group Toolbox. For detailed instructions on how to update the status of your group members, please click here.
Confirmed drops/no-shows in your group should be marked “inactive” in your if they have not shown up for multiple weeks. Chat with Justin or your coach before taking this step. If someone is missing from your roster, or if you have any other questions regarding roster updates, please connect with Justin.

**You can also Download the Video HERE from Google Drive
While we don’t ask you to take weekly attendance, we do ask that you let Justin or your coach know in the event that you have “no-shows” or individuals who may drop off later on. You can also make the changes yourself via “My Mariners”. Instructions available here.
Every Online Rooted session comes with a great service experience. Justin works with our Outreach Team to schedule them for you. You will get details from him. If you have questions reach out to Justin or your coach any time.
Great question! Our hope for every Rooted group is that they continue on in Biblical community, practicing spiritual rhythms together as a Life Group. In some cases, the Rooted Facilitator goes on with the group as the Life Group Leader. In most times the Rooted Facilitator is helping to identify that potential leader from within the group.
We ask that you “recommend” a leader to our team by week 6 of Rooted so that we can then do the work of vetting, interviewing, and eventually training as the group takes their next steps. Additionally, we cover more of what to look for in a Life Group Leader in our video and Online trainings.
Our team is here to equip, support and pray with you throughout the Rooted journey. If you need additional support please reach out to us! To your coach or Justin any time.
