Growing closer to Christ happens in community as we pray, learn, and walk together in faith.
Would you like to know how to deepen your relationship with Christ? Many Christians—inside and outside the church—struggle with the same question: How do I grow closer to Him?
A Pathway to Growth
One of the most powerful experiences I’ve had is through a 10-week discipleship journey called Rooted. At Antioch Christian Church, Rooted is open to anyone—whether or not you are a member, wherever you may be in your walk with Christ.
In Rooted, you’ll encounter people in every stage of faith. Some are brand new to exploring Christ. Others have followed Him for years. What binds us together is not judgment, but honesty, openness, and the desire to grow. Nobody is there to “fix you.” Instead, we listen, share, and encourage one another.
Practices That Strengthen Faith
Over the course of the ten weeks, participants learn to:
- Strengthen personal and group prayer
- Engage more deeply with Scripture
- Journal daily reflections
- Build authentic relationships within the church community
For some, the Rooted journey leads to a life-changing decision—committing fully to Christ through baptism. For others, it renews a weary faith or sparks a fresh passion to follow Him.
Growing Together
The beauty of Rooted is that it reminds us growth doesn’t happen in isolation. God uses community to refine us, teach us, and surround us with love. Every facilitator and participant walks away changed—some with a brand-new faith, others with renewed strength to keep walking with Christ.
Wherever you are, you can’t help but grow closer to Him when you open your heart and commit to the journey.
