Rooted: A Summer Series About Abiding In Jesus

Rooted is a summer series all about learning how to truly abide in Jesus by staying close, trusting deep, and growing strong in Him. Over five weeks, we’ll look at what it means to be rooted in God’s love, His Word, His people, and His mission.

Then we’ll finish it all with the Rooted Weekend Retreat, an unforgettable time of worship, teaching, and community. Whether you’ve been following Jesus for years or just starting to ask questions, this is for you.
