Learn MoreWhat is a Rooted Group? Rooted is a 10-week small group experience designed to connect you to God, the church, and your purpose. Together, in a group of 10-15 people, you’ll explore the Bible, engage in prayer and serve experiences, share stories, and practice rhythms essential to a healthy spiritual life. These spiritual rhythms aren’t new, or something the church recently created, every one of them is found in Acts 2 where the early church began. We will provide you with a facilitator who is trained to come alongside your group to help you get the most out of the experience. Groups will meet in different homes, days and times in the community as facilitators become available. If you would like more information on becoming a facilitator, please email Pastor Kevin Grills at kgrills@bayhope.com or Lara McCay at lmccay@bayhope.com
