ROOTS
We long to help each other take the journey of getting to know Christ in our lives, so that we might become more like Him. We understand that Christianity has a history and we are part of it.
On our journey through life we take many paths. While many are full of joy and wonder others are filled with sorrow and despair. We gather to celebrate our joy with one another and to lift each other up in our sorrows.

Rooted In Christ
It is through accepting the truth that God wants to be in relationship with us, and accepting that through Christ He has made it possible, that we gain right standing before God. What Christ has accomplished on the cross is a work of reconciliation. Because of the cross, and the sending of the Holy Spirit we are freed from sin, able to learn how to live in right relationship with one another. When we learn to live ROOTED IN CHRIST, we learn to live in community with God and one another the way we were intended to in the beginning. It is in these relationships, which Christ has made possible, that we are able to fully enter into the creation we were intended to be. The rules of the Christian life are not about restricting oneself from experiencing life, rather they are guidelines given by God that we might truly experience it.
