About Us

The church belongs to and is ultimately run by Jesus. Its purpose is to exalt and enjoy God, to edify and equip the body, and to explain and expose Jesus to as many people as possible. It is led under Christ by qualified elders who shepherd, oversee, and teach the flock and by deacons who serve the needs of the flock—all so that the whole body may be equipped to do the work of the ministry as gifted and empowered by the Spirit.

Who We Are

  • AS A CHURCH FAMILY we study God’s Word, fellowship, and pray together.
    (Acts 2:42)

  • AS A WITNESS we are empowered
    by the Holy Spirit to share God’s love with everyone.
    (Acts 1:8)

  • AS INDIVIDUALS we are being transformed
    into the same image of Christ by God’s Word and His Spirit.
    (2 Corinthians 3:18)

Why Are We Called Roots?

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him,
rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught,
abounding in it with thanksgiving.

Colossians 2:6-7

For this reason I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith…

Ephesians 3:14-17

…that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height—to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Ephesians 3:17-19

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask
or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Ephesians 3:20-21
