Join us for the Rooted Learning Experience.  This class will be offered twice a year, or as needed.  It is open to anyone who is curious about the claims of Christ or the distinctives of Grassroots Church.  It is also a requirement for membership with Grassroots.  To find out when the next Rooted is being offered, contact Pastor Ahsh by e-mail.

Rooted Learning Experience Description

Together we will explore and ask the hard questions about the foundations of the Christian faith and the heart of the teachings of Jesus.  Through this learning experience, participants will discover what makes Grassroots such a unique community of faith, but so much more than this, they will be invited to encounter the risen Christ in a warm and safe environment, where creative response and interactive learning will bring the the teachings of Jesus to light in new and transformative ways.

Throughout our Learning Experience, we will seek to discover and embody a Christ-centered life which is Authentic, Holistic, Communal, and Reformissional.  We will ask these questions:

1. What is the Bible and how did we get it?  Can it be trusted?  What are practical tools for studying and understanding the Bible?
2. What is the central message of the Scriptures?  Who was the real Jesus and what did he come to teach?
3. How do we live all of life as sacred and an expression of devotion?  How does the story of the scriptures apply to sex, family, money, race, power, work, marijuana?
4. What streams of Christian heritage does Grassroots Church embody?  How can we be both theologically conservative and culturally progressive?
5. What is a true church and what is the significance of church membership?  What does intentional loving community really look like?
6. What does it mean to be reformissional?  How can we each participate in God’s plan of bringing peace and wholeness to all peoples?
