Rooted is a 10-week discipleship experience and a catalyst for life-change. Much more than a book resource, the Rooted experience provokes questions and conversations while having group experiences designed to give you a glimpse of your story in God’s story.

Throughout Rooted, you will have five daily devotional and journaling experiences each week to help you practice the 7 Rooted Rhythms modeled by the early church in Acts 2.  These rhythms include daily devotion, prayer, breaking strongholds, sacrificial generosity, community service, sharing your story, and worship. Committed and consistent practice of these rhythms will not only impact you but the whole church.

Registration will open on August 7.  At that time, you can register with your small group under your leader’s name or select the option to join a group. The $35 cost is for the whole 10- week experience and includes the Rooted for Willow, multiple group experiences, and a graduation celebration where you will share a meal together! We do not want finances to deter you from your Rooted participation. Please reach out your campus Group Pastor for a scholarship code for financial assistance.

Rooted groups can meet weekly in person, hybrid, or virtually. We are asking that groups meet as much in person as possible for the greatest connection and experience. Your group can agree on a location and time for your meeting that works well for the group.

Week One of Rooted will kick off after the September 18 services. You will meet each week culminating in a Graduation/Celebration to be held Sunday, November 20, during services.  During Week Six, your group will participate together in a serve experience

For the best Rooted experience, we recommend not missing more than 2 weeks. The 10 weeks are a cumulative experience, and so we ask that every participant commit to honor each other by being at every meeting. If your schedule requires you to miss more than two, please consider joining us when the next Rooted session starts.

Once you are registered, you will receive an email confirmation for your purchased Rooted for Willow Participant’s Workbook. Your book will be available for the kick off and given to your group Facilitator, who will contact you prior to September 18. Please contact your Facilitator directly, should you be absent on Week One so you can start the workbook in a timely manner.

Yes! We are excited to share that you can access all the Rooted content (with your Rooted registration) in the Willow Creek app. In the app, you can also journal on the content and choose to keep your notes private, or share them with others.
