So… church, eh? 
We get it. Walking into a spiritual space with a bunch of strangers can be overwhelming and super awkward. You’re likely wondering if we’re weird and if your kids will be safe and probably a million other anxiety-inducing questions. That is totally fair.
First off, Grassroots isn’t weird 
and we absolutely prioritize your kids’ safety, ensuring all volunteers are vetted and have vulnerable sector checks. We invite you to keep exploring and/or connect with our pastor.

The Long Walk of Discipleship
I don’t know about you but the last few weeks of Sunday morning teachings have been received as a bit of a punch in the gut. This idea of moving from admiring Jesus to the seemingly impossible task of following him – even to death. And then last week, we leaned into a truth that’s as challenging as it is liberating: the cross doesn’t invite our applause—it demands our participation. The way to bending our knee to such radical participation is only through the hard road of discipleship and taking those moments of life to act as catalysts toward our transformation.
