Open Enrollment and Growth Groups

There are several opportunities to get plugged into a new group. Check out the options below.

In 2019, we established Rooted as the launching phase of our discipleship pathway and the front door to our Community Group environments, meaning each new Community Group that forms will start first with Rooted. We believe Rooted is the best way for a new group to begin to connect relationally in order to grow spiritually.

At the same time, after two years of offering Rooted, we learned we needed to adjust our model to meet the need for individuals who have recently experienced Rooted (within 24 months of the current Group Formation Season) and are looking to join a Community Group without repeating Rooted.

We are excited to introduce two new opportunities, Open Enrollment and Growth Groups.

During our Open Enrollment seasons, existing groups who have previously been through Rooted may open up available spots to receive new members who have also been through Rooted.

With Growth Groups, individuals now have an option for a new or continued group experience which will be a 9-month intentional focus on using our lives to help others experience Jesus. Growth Groups will not restart with Rooted but launch (or relaunch) with Life In Rhythm – A 10-week curriculum designed to empower individuals to establish healthy rhythms of discipleship and live out God’s design in the two spheres in which we spend most of our time—work and family. Groups will continue on in the remaining months using a curated list of books and studies to be challenged to grow into disciple-makers. Growth Groups wrap up with a collective celebration with all of the graduating Growth Groups of the season. Our hope is to see Growth Groups inspire and produce future leaders for our various ministry environments.

Community Group Leaders: Chris and Suzanne Snyder

We love the impact Rooted has on a new group. Maybe you’re ready to jump back in and experience it again. Below are a list of new groups starting with Rooted.

Group Type: Couples Formative ( more info A formative group is a group that forms without a pre-appointed leader. If the group you're joining is a formative group, don't worry! Our GroupLife team has got you covered. We have a plan to help and support the launch of your new group. During the Rooted phase, Rooted Facilitators will guide the group through the 11 week experience while looking for potential leaders within the group to take them onto the Community Group phase. Toward the end of Rooted, the group will nominate a contact person and a host home (if meeting in person) to lead the group forward.)
