Find community and grow together…

Rooted is a 10-week small group experience designed to connect you to God, the church, and your purpose. It's not a Bible study or a class but an experience focused on discovering and practicing seven rhythms that will help you become an active follower of Jesus. Rooted is an exciting journey of going beyond just believing and learning about Jesus to doing the things He did and practicing them with others!

Testimonials

  • “Our Rooted group exceeded all expectations! Some were mature believers, and one accepted Christ for the first time. We shared stories, were vulnerable, and became close friends. The light reading and discussions helped us discover more about being a Christian and grow deeper in our faith in a safe, engaging environment. We didn’t want our group to end, so we’ve continued to meet as a small group!”

    – Erica

  • “I found great value in the Rooted Experience. I learned much more about the people in my group, prayed with them, served with them, and shared my personal experiences with them. We spent several weeks doing life together. My relationships have grown with them because of this. I’m grateful for the Rooted Experience.”

    -Sam M.

  • “Rooted is not just another class or small group experience. If you are looking for real community and a space learn how your life and unique experiences contribute to The Body of Christ, this is a place for you. There is always something new to learn in our faith and this experience facilitates growth and fosters relationships that have the potential to change your life if you let it.”

    -Michelle B.

  • “I have facilitated Rooted 10 times and I have witnessed significant life change in each of those groups. Rooted is called a ‘transformational discipleship experience’. That isn’t just a clever tagline. Those three words really do describe it. Rooted is one of the best catalysts for spiritual growth I’ve experienced in my lifetime.”

    -Paul D.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Whether you’ve been a Christ-follower for decades or are new to faith in Jesus, Rooted is for you! It’s a 10-week experience with both large and small group discussions where you’ll discover and practice seven helpful rhythms for life as a follower of Jesus. It’s unlike anything you’ve experienced before and will take your relationship with God to a new level as you apply what you learn in community with others. Each 10-week session concludes with a special dinner where groups from all campuses come together to celebrate what God did through Rooted. 

  • Rooted is the best place to get into small group community at SBC. Your group will be prayerfully formed based on information from your registration, often based on life stages and other common factors. After you complete Rooted, our hope is that your group will continue to meet together. We encourage everyone to go through Rooted before joining an ongoing group.

  • You can join Rooted with your existing group or be placed in a new group with others who are similar to you in life stage and other factors. Let us know your preference on your registration.

  • Most people will attend the Kickoff Night at the Shea campus on Wednesday, January 29, and then experience weeks 2-10 in a group that meets on Wednesday nights at their campus. Some groups that already meet at other times/days may experience weeks 2-10 at a convenient time that fits their schedule. Others may opt to experience Rooted within the rhythm of their existing group. Ideally, all groups that have completed weeks 2-10 will join us at Shea on April 9 for a special dinner to celebrate what God did in our lives.

  • Once registration is open for the upcoming session, you can sign up below.
