“Rooted is a place where I feel comfortable, loved, and heard. It’s a place where people from lots of different places and backgrounds come together as one body as brothers and sisters in Christ. I so appreciate the open, honest, and sometimes tough conversations I am able to have with believers my own age. It is a unique community that cultivates growth in our faith and also in relationships with one another. I look forward to Rooted each and every week because it refocuses me on what is most important: loving God and loving one another. It is so important to be in a body of believers and to be held accountable when it comes to growing in your faith. Rooted has allowed me to ask difficult questions of myself and what I believe. I so often put God in a box, but Rooted has shattered that box time and time again. Rooted has also encouraged me to get back in the Word. It’s easy to fill our days with things that do not have eternal value, but Rooted has pushed me to spend time each day digging into my Bible and learning more about the awesome God behind it all.”
