There are many ways to participate:

  • Purchase gifts for kids
  • Sort gifts at the Christmas Gift Drive Sorting Party on Sunday, December 10

  • Hand out gifts at the church building on Saturday, December 16 at 8:00 a.m.

Rooted 2023

Rooted

Rooted is 10 weeks of discipleship, life change, and real connection! In Rooted, participants do daily personal devotion time and weekly group time all with the purpose of being more like Jesus. The curriculum is all centered, or Rooted, in God’s Word. If you’ve been following Jesus for years OR if you are new to the church or new to the faith this could just be your next step. Rooted might sound like a community group, but again, it’s unlike a community group because participants only meet 10 weeks and cover topics like Who is God? How does He speak to us? How do I make the most of my life? How do I tell others about Jesus – AND so many more.
