Yes. Rooted introduces group members to practices and experiences that are foundational to our small group strategy, so Rooted really serves as a "primer." Plus, the Rooted experience is valuable to Christians in all stages of their faith journey.

Rooted groups are primarily determined by availability - you register for a Rooted group based upon your desired evening of the week. In addition, we try to place people in groups based on common life stages or affinity.

Groups meet weekly in homes, at Constance, or in the community. Typically, a group meets for 1.5-2 hours to pray, study the Bible, and update one another about their life. Groups also participate in a serving experience at least once per semester.

From our SMALL GROUP FINDER and our START A GROUP options, we've got you covered to jump back into a Group.

Childcare is available for groups meeting Sunday and Tuesday evenings at Constance. On Tuesday evenings, childcare is available for children 2 years old and under, and children 3 years old to 5th grade, must register for Constance Kids Club.

For groups that meet outside of Constance, we leave it up to each family to work out their own childcare. Sometimes it works best for families to share a sitter or to swap childcare with another family whose group meets on a different evening.
