Explore current Bible studies, Home Groups, ministries, and opportunities to serve, with links to more information and sign-ups along the way. Take a look around and find a place to get involved!
Seedlings Volunteers Needed

There’s something special about having a part in helping children know and love the Lord. In Seedlings, we have the opportunity to come alongside parents as they teach their children God’s Word and encourage them to grow in their faith.
We’re looking for more people to join us in serving our kids on Sunday mornings. Whether you enjoy teaching or would rather serve alongside someone else in the classroom, there are different ways to be involved. Lessons and materials are provided, and we’ll help you get started.
If you’d like to invest in the next generation at Roots, we invite you to take that first step and learn more about serving in Seedlings.
To learn more, talk to Keziah. You can also click the link below or pick up a Seedlings application at the Connect board, fill it out and turn it in to Keziah or to the church office.

Branches Home Groups

Home Groups are a chance to take what we're learning on Sundays and continue the conversation during the week. You'll spend time in God's Word with others and build relationships that go beyond Sunday mornings. If you've been wanting to get more connected at Roots, we'd really encourage you to consider joining a Home Group this fall.
Home Groups are launching the week of September 6. Check out the sign ups available on Sundays and join a Home Group in your area! You can also click below to be connected to a Home Group.

Parking Lot - help needed

You'll notice some changes in our parking lot over the next few weeks as we work to improve parking on Sunday mornings. You'll also see volunteers helping direct parking before each service, and we kindly ask that you follow their directions as they help create room for guests and visitors.
We're also looking for a few more people to help with parking. If you're interested, stop by Michelle's desk in the entry after service.
