The Rooted Network

Damascus Road Community Church partners with The Rooted Network which offers resources to help churches bring consistent, life-shaping rhythms to their people through a discipleship ecosystem.

Currently, we offer Rooted and a deeper-dive study, The Story of God throughout the year.

The Story of God

Go Deeper

Anyone who wants to understand their own story must understand the gospel story of Jesus told throughout the Bible.

The Story of God, one of three studies in the Rooted Network's Deep Dive series, is an 10-week, group-discipleship resource exploring the overarching redemptive narrative of the Bible. Traveling chronologically from Genesis to Revelation, this study will remove the intimidation factor and allow participants to discover the story of Jesus on every page of the Bible. This discovery will equip participants to join Jesus in that big story.

The Story of God is being offered in the Winter 2025 session and begins February 3 and runs until April 7, 7:00-8:30pm.

What is Rooted?

Just become a Christian? Been one for a long time? Considering a small group but on the fence? Wondering what your next right step is?

Rooted is an opportunity to participate in a small group and experience Christian community in a healthy and safe environment. Together we explore questions about our faith such as: Who is God? How does He speak to me? Why is there suffering? What makes me stumble? What is my purpose? How does the Holy Spirit impact me? We share our stories, explore our beliefs, pray for each other and serve together.

What to Expect

Rooted is not a Bible study or a book club. We have the privilege of practicing key rhythms that deepen our relationship with God. Each co-journeyer receives a book with daily readings from a global perspective. Once a week for 10 Monday evenings, there is central teaching and intentional small group time. This is the place where the readings and teaching are discussed. When group members are not able to attend, they are missed. Your presence at every session is key – please make sure that you can attend every Monday.

In addition to the group conversations, you will participate in a Prayer Retreat and a Serving Day.

Each of these rhythms or applied practices help us to learn more about God and our role in His story. By the end of our shared experience, co-journeyers will have a better sense of how God is speaking, personal purpose, use of prayer, fasting, serving and sharing life with others.

If you are interested in maturing your faith and taking definitive steps to strengthen your relationship with God, join us. Rooted is offered throughout the year. Get on the Rooted waitlist to be notified of the next session:
