The purpose of Deeper is to become an apprentice to Jesus, learning to immerse yourself in the life of Jesus by being with him, so you can become like him, so you are able to do what he did. In this small group experience, you will practice slowing down while learning to reorient your life and live differently as a disciple to Jesus. Deeper was created for Rooted graduates and is the antidote to a hurried, surface-level relationship with Jesus.
Whether you are new to Christianity or a long-time follower of Jesus, Deeper will challenge your thinking, provoke life-style change, build lasting relationships with your group, and guide you toward a more meaningful relationship with Jesus. We ask that you first participate in Rooted prior to registering for Deeper.
The session lasts for 10 weeks, but you will only meet every other for a total of five times. Your group will also share two additional experiences focused on connecting to God through prayer and connecting with people through service. After the last session, you’ll join together with other groups and celebrate how God is working to connect each of you with your passion, your purpose and your community.
