ROOTED

Finding lasting community at Southside begins with Rooted.

Rooted is a 10-week life group experience designed to connect you to God, the church, and your purpose. In a group of 10–15 people from all walks of life, you’ll explore the Bible, engage in prayer and serve experiences, share stories, and practice spiritual rhythms essential to a healthy life with Jesus. These rhythms aren’t new or man-made—they’re rooted in Acts 2, where the early church began. Each group is led by a trained facilitator who will come alongside your group to help you get the most out of the experience. Rooted is offered twice a year—in February and September—and serves as the on-ramp to Life Groups at Southside. We recognize that Rooted is a significant time commitment, but we believe it’s worth the investment. Because the 10 weeks build on each other, we ask that every participant commit to attending every session. If you know you'll miss more than two meetings, we encourage you to wait for the next session so you can fully experience all that Rooted has to offer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Rooted?
Rooted is a 10-week discipleship program and a catalyst for life-change. It provokes questions and conversations and group experiences designed to give you a glimpse of your story in God’s story.
How do I register and what does it cost?
Registration is easy! Once registration is open for the upcoming session, click on which time box you want to register for and follow the steps. Rooted Registration is FREE.

Once you are registered, you will receive a confirmation email with information on how to purchase your workbook.
Where will my Rooted group meet?
All of our in person Rooted groups meet at your location’s campus.
Is there childcare available?
Childcare is available for children 0 years – 5th grade.

Once you are registered for Rooted, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to register for childcare.
What if I cannot make it to Week One?
If you miss Week One, your leader will be in contact with you and you can still join your group. For the best Rooted experience, we recommend not missing more than 2 weeks. If your schedule requires you to miss more than two, feel free to jump in when the next Rooted session starts.
What if I cannot make all ten weeks?
We understand that Rooted is a large time commitment, but we believe it is worth it to invest in the entire process. If you know you are going to miss more than 2 meetings, we ask that you wait until the next session of Rooted.

The 10 weeks are a cumulative experience, and so we ask that every participant commit to honor each other with being at every meeting.
Is there an age limit for Rooted?
Yes. Rooted is an adult only curriculum (18 years+). 
What if Registration is closed?
If registration is closed, please check back for the next Rooted session.
What is the difference between Rooted and Life Groups?
Rooted is the on-ramp to Life Groups. Your Rooted group at the end of the 10 weeks becomes your Life Group, and so we strongly advise that you go through Rooted before joining an open Life Group.
When will I get my book?
At our first session of Rooted.
