I HOPE everyone had a great Labor Day and was able to get some rest yesterday!
And let me also say—WHAT A SUNDAY! He stepped into the ROOM!! 🙌 I’m praying and believing that what God started, He is faithful to finish!
With all the new growth we’re seeing in our church, and with so many people who are at the beginning or early stages of their journey with Jesus, I really feel this is a great time to be intentional about discipleship—helping people not only come to know Jesus, but grow in their relationship with Him, discover who He has created them to be, and learn what it truly means to follow Him.
With that in mind, I’m reaching out to gauge interest in a new small group/discipleship class I’m calling ROOTED.
ROOTED will be a 12-week intentional, focused, and more intensive discipleship journey, taught by me and possibly a few special guests. My heart is for us to go deeper in our relationship with Jesus, better understand who God has created us to be, and learn how to live out our faith with purpose.
THE ROOTED JOURNEY
WEEKS 1–2 | DISCOVER
Who has God created me to be, and how has He gifted me?
WEEKS 3–6 | GROW
What does it mean to follow Jesus and develop a strong spiritual foundation?
WEEKS 7–8 | EMPOWER
Who is the Holy Spirit, and how does He empower and work through me?
WEEKS 9–11 | LIVE
How do I serve, belong, live out my faith, and share Jesus with others?
WEEK 12 | GO
What is my next step, and how can I help others become disciples?
ROOTED — Know Jesus. Know Yourself. Find Your Purpose. Live Your Faith.
“Rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith…” Colossians 2:7
I don’t have an exact launch date yet—that will depend somewhat on the level of interest—but my plan is for ROOTED to meet on Sundays from 6:00–7:30 PM.
We would not meet on the first Sunday of the month, as that evening is reserved for HOPE4YoungAdults. Meeting at 6:00 PM will also allow us to begin after HOPE4Teens finishes on the 2nd and 4th Sundays.
If ROOTED sounds like something you would like to be part of—or if you have questions—please reach out to me personally.
I’m excited to see who God brings together for this journey and what He does through it!
Thanks,
Pastor Todd
