Rooted

Over 100 people have gone through Rooted. This discipleship experience helps you connect with God, church and purpose. We've seen people grow closer to God and to one another as they develop the rhythms of the experience. Our prayer is that everyone who calls The District Church home will go through It. New groups will start this September!

“I was brought back to the Lord after 2022 turned out to be the darkest year of my life. I was diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder Recurrent, but I didn’t want to believe it. Fast forward to Fall, I had accomplished my dream of starting law school. But about 3 weeks in, I had to stop and leave because I was experiencing the worst depressive episode of my life. I spent that remaining Fall trying to get better through therapy and antidepressants, but nothing seemed to work. I was floating out in space and felt more alone than I'd ever felt before. Then, on New Year’s Eve 2022, I suddenly remembered that my old church live-streams their special service; and so, I worshipped and praised the Lord for the first time in about 6 years. Then, New Year’s Day 2023, I gave my life to the Lord. Literally, a month and a half later, I got the approval to get off antidepressants! Plus I was approved to return to law school in Fall 2023! Getting baptized was my declaration that the Lord is my light, and with Him, I will never see the darkness of depression again! Getting baptized at The District Church was a warm experience, especially with my women’s small group cheering me on. As I rose anew, I was shaking with an overwhelming fire to learn more about my God and a hunger to serve others in whatever ways He calls me to.”
