Rooted to Community Group

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

We believe Rooted is the best way for a new group to begin to connect relationally in order to grow spiritually. 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. Rooted is an 11-week catalytic experience that will jump start or deepen a person’s faith and their impact in the world. However, maybe you’re unsure and still have questions. Starting Point is a conversational environment where people can explore faith and experience community. Learn more about it here.

The meetings will be held either virtually or at the Journey campus for the initial 11 weeks beginning the week of February 1. Groups will meet on either Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday during the Rooted phase. Rooted has 3 experiences that may take place on a night that your group is not meeting. Click here to view the Rooted Calendar.

After the 11 weeks of Rooted, groups will be encouraged to move on to the Community Group phase where they will continue to meet together either virtually or in homes for 12-24 months. In some cases, the group may switch to a new meeting night after Rooted.

Below you will find details for both phases of your new group. Listed first, you will find information about the Community Group which will continue on after the Rooted experience is completed. Secondly, you will find information related to your Rooted group (ie. Leaders Name, Night of week, etc.)

The cost of Rooted is $25 per person which includes all sessions, your workbook and other materials, and the Celebration at the end of the 10 weeks.

Childcare is available ( more info The cost for childcare is in addition to the $25 participant fee. The childcare cost is $55 per individual registering a child that will be paid upfront for the 11-week Rooted experience (Childcare may not be paid for on an a la carte basis). This adds up to only $5 per week for a single adult participant and $10 per week for a couple checking in children - regardless of the amount of children. If a couple is registering for childcare, the cost of childcare will be applied to each person.).

Couples Groups

Couples Groups are made up of 4-6 couples that meet weekly to enjoy a conversational environment where they can connect relationally to grow spiritually.

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.)
