Groups
Groups are one of the best ways to connect with others, grow in faith, and serve together in community.
Rooted Groups
Rooted is a 10-week experience designed to help you connect with God, the church, and your purpose. Rooted is the first step if you’re new to North Way or small groups!
Small Groups

Focused Groups

Do you believe God has uniquely created you with a purpose and plan? What if you heard God speak and felt the love of Jesus in a profound way? Imagine yourself in a community of people who cared about you, listened to you and helped you grow. What if you stepped into the Rooted journey and experienced personal transformation?
Rooted is a 10-week small group experience that will help you connect with God, the church, and your purpose. This experience starts with a workbook with five days of reading and journaling each week. At the end of the week, you will come together with your group and discuss what you have learned and read. In addition, you’ll grow in prayer and service through dedicated experiences. You will also learn concrete and easy ways to share your faith. For some people, all of this will help you fall in love with Jesus for the first time. For others, this may reinvigorate a stale, dry faith. For everyone else, this is a great way to experience Jesus in new and fresh ways. At the end of the 10 weeks, we will gather together as seven campuses in one location to celebrate what has happened over the weeks in Rooted.
