Why Rooted?
Our name comes from Colossians 2:6
"So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in Him, rooted and built up in Him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness."
Rooted is a rare word in the New Testament, and it brings forth a powerful metaphor that we hope to live out as a community. As Christians, our anchor - our root - is in the Gospel of Jesus Christ as revealed in Scripture. That message never changes, and neither does God. And yet, as a tree grows, it does change shape over time, reaches out, and what was once a seedling becomes a source of life.
Why A Church Plant?
This church has been formed by people simply living out the mission Jesus gave his disciples. As our sending church grew, we looked around and realized a bunch of us live here!
Now we have the opportunity to keep doing what we've been doing, but as a new community. This is us, and we're here because we truly believe the mission and the message of Jesus.
