WHAT IS ROOTED?

Rooted is a 10-week discipleship experience designed to connect people with God, the church, and their purpose and we are excited to offer this opportunity here at The Journey Assembly of God.  
Rooted is designed to align with our church’s unique mission, vision, and values. For those exploring faith, Rooted reveals who God is and how to live as His disciple. For believers, Rooted is helpful to refocus one’s faith and ignite a new passion for Christ.

Rooted is built on the foundation of 7 Rhythms — each of which was taught and practiced by the early church in Acts 2. These rhythms shape the Rooted experience and will unite your personal life and our church around strong core beliefs.
“Genuine spiritual knowledge lies not in wonderful and mysterious thoughts but in actual spiritual experience through union of the believer's life with truth.”

WHAT WILL ROOTED LOOK LIKE?

We will begin with a general session together on Wednesday, February 12, 2025 at 7:00 pm and explore the concepts of Rooted and get to know our workbooks.  After this first session, we will evaluate if we need to break into 2 or 3 smaller groups, or if we can facilitate all who sign up as one group.
 
Each group will discuss and determine how they would like to handle childcare, though we can seek to be creative with this as we would like as many as would desire to participate in this important program.
Following the first session, we will meet each week through the months of February – May, except for the first Wednesday of every month which is our UNITE “One Accord” Prayer night.  This spaced out time-frame will help you pace your reading, study, and daily response & reflection times.

Each person will have their own workbook to work through.  The cost of these is $21.  Each week there are five short lessons – and the pace we have set should allow us ample time to complete these lessons in a very convenient manner.  Most all of the lessons are only 2 to 2 ½ pages long – so quite short and extremely relevant to our daily lives.
