Rooted is for people in every stage of life, no matter where they are in their walk with Christ. If you are new to River City Christian, the Rooted experience is a great first step for you to get involved in group life.

SHAPE Class

September 24 – October 29

River City Christian believes that God has blessed every member of the body of Christ with unique spiritual gifts, heart, abilities, personality, and experiences (your SHAPE). When understood and used correctly, your SHAPE will bring glory to Jesus and have an impact on the kingdom of God. And here’s an added blessing: when we grasp how God has wired us and determine to use our SHAPE to serve Him and others, we find great fulfillment and experience spiritual growth.

Location: Room 215
Time: 11:30 a.m.-12:30 p.m.

Biblical Worldview Class

October 8 – November 12 

Everyone has a worldview. But what does it mean to have a biblical worldview?

The Biblical Worldview Equipping Class will help participants be aware of the competing worldviews around them while discovering how to see contemporary issues through the lens of Scripture.
