Connect with God, the church, and Your Purpose

Registration is easy! Click on the “Register for Rooted” button and follow the steps. The cost is $25 per person to defray the cost of books and other expenses.

The weekly Rooted group gatherings are Tuesday evenings at 6:30 PM at the Trace Church building. There are two group experiences outside of the Tuesday gatherings that are scheduled according to the availability of the participants in each group.

The Rooted experience includes a workbook for participants to engage in a 20-to-30-minute devotion five days a week. The daily devotions tackle challenging topics that spur candid conversations and activities within the group that rapidly create a sense community among the members.

Rooted is for everyone, not just those new to Trace Church or new Christ-followers. No matter where you stand in your relationship with Jesus, there is always room to grow and change. Those who have not yet committed their lives to Jesus will receive answers to their questions while seasoned Christ-followers will gain new perspectives and depth of faith. You can expect to walk away with a new sense of belonging and community by participating in Rooted.

We do offer childcare at the church on Tuesday nights for a fee. Childcare follows all our Trace Kids safety procedures, and the investment in letting you have uninterrupted adult conversation about your faith is well worth it for your whole family. The fee is $100 for the first child, $150 for two children, or $200 for three or more children. This works out to less than $5/hour across the 10-week experience. (In order to provide the correct number of childcare providers, we ask that you pay and commit to using the childcare for the duration of the semester in advance).

The Rooted experience includes 10 weekly group gatherings and two outside group experiences. Rooted is a significant time commitment, but we know it is worth the investment. While there are extenuating circumstances, the weekly gatherings and experiences are cumulative, so we ask for consistency each week. If you know you will miss more than two of the ten weekly meetings, we ask that you wait until the next session of Rooted in order experience all Rooted has to offer.

The majority of the time, Rooted groups continue on to become regular groups at Trace. Rooted provides a proven pattern for Group Life, an intentional leadership development process, and a unifying baseline of Christian belief and practice. It gets our groups on the same page with each other and with other groups at Trace. It introduces or affirms rhythms you will carry creatively into future Group Life.

Just ask. We will figure it out with you!
