WHY JOIN A GROUP

TRANSFORMATION

We believe living life in the context of a group is truly transformative, and we’ve seen it happen. Over the past several years in groups, we’ve seen people give their lives to Jesus and get baptized, begin serving in their communities, give generously, share their faith passionately, and discover a community of trusted friends to journey through life with.

COMMUNITY

Rocky is too big for you not to be in a group. If you’re wanting to KNOW Jesus, LOVE Like Him, and LIVE On Mission with others at Rocky, then you’ve come to the right place. You will find the deepest community when you live on mission together. It all starts with Step 1 (Rooted).

PATHWAY

Our Groups Pathway is made up of four intentional ten-week studies for your group to focus on three pursuits: KNOW Jesus, LOVE Like Him, and LIVE On Mission. First, we launch all of our new groups with STEP 1 (Rooted). After that, each group can continue along the Pathway or utilize our other resources, including The Pursuit Journal and RightNow Media.

PATHWAY STEP 1

Pursuit Journal

One of our values at Rocky is to daily pursue a relationship with Jesus because we believe Jesus changes everything. We understand that sometimes it can feel difficult or maybe you’ve never done it before and don’t know how to start. We’ve created a resource for just that and we call it the pursuit journal. This journal will give you scripture reading, questions to answer, and rhythms to practice 5 days out of each week. If you’re interested in doing the pursuit journal with a group, contact our groups team! You can pick up a copy for $10 at either of our campuses or if you’re not local you can have a copy shipped to you for $14 with the link below!

ORDER A PURSUIT JOURNAL

STEP 1 | Rooted

Your path to community and connection begins here! Unlike most typical small groups, ROOTED is structured to include several experiences that will deepen your connection with God, his church, and your purpose.

ROOTED is an overview of how to Know Jesus, Love like Him, and Live on mission and over a thousand people have experienced ROOTED at Rocky and hundreds of thousands have worldwide. Simply put, ROOTED changes lives. You don’t want to miss this!

At the end of the ten-week season, all the ROOTED and Pathway groups celebrate the good work that God has been doing. Most groups continue meeting together by either participating in Step 2 or another group study.

MORE INFORMATION

STEP 2 | Know Jesus

Our thoughts are powerful. And what we tell ourselves about God profoundly affects how we live every day. We want to make sure that our thoughts about God actually match up with the God Jesus knew.

Step 2 of the Pathway works through The Good and Beautiful God by James Bryan Smith in a similar fashion to ROOTED. This 10-week study confronts any false narratives you may have about God and helps you KNOW Jesus intimately. Each week, it also teaches how to incorporate ancient spiritual practices such as lectio divina and slowing down to help you deepen your walk with Jesus and live in joy.

STEP 3 | Love Like Him

Step 3 of the pathway is a 10-week group experience working through the provocative bestseller Irresistible by Andy Stanley. This book will definitely stretch your view of scripture and will awaken the thoughtful reader out of complacency. As followers of Jesus, we want to connect and engage with our culture in such a compelling way that others are intrigued by our faith and seek to truly understand who Jesus is.

Throughout the study, you will read through Hebrews, engage in group experiences, and learn how to live out this irresistible faith just like the early church. Irresistible takes you on a journey with Jesus to embrace what it means to LOVE like Him. If you are interested in Step 3 but don’t have a group, contact us through the button below!

STEP 4 | Live On Mission

Chazown is Step 4 of our Groups Pathway. Throughout Step 4, you will be reading and working through Chazown similarly to Steps 1-3.

Each week you will be reading through Chazown by Craig Groeschel and learn how to better LIVE on mission. Chazown takes you on a journey with Jesus to discover your calling as a follower of Jesus, your unique contribution to his mission, and what discipleship is all about.
