At Christ Church, we believe that spiritual formation is essential! But we also recognize that knowing where to get started can take a lot of work. We have designed a clear map to help with your spiritual growth. The discipleship pathway is a series of precise steps you can take to help you grow in your faith.

Worship is such a foundational part of our Christian formation. Join us for a service on Sunday at 9am or 10:30am, in-person or online.

Whether you are new to faith or returning to church, Rooted is a great space to learn what it means to follow Jesus.

Rooted is a 10-week small-group study that follows a specific curriculum to connect with God, the church, and your purpose. This study will answer some of life's biggest questions, like:

• Who is God?
• Where is God when hard things happen?
• What is my purpose in life?
• What does God think about money?

Fall 2025 Rooted group:

• Sundays - 10:45 am: meets in the Chapel at Christ Church

Covenant Partners are members of Christ Church. They've committed to calling Christ Church their spiritual home and to the church's mission, vision, and values.

Contact Pastor Cheryl Lavornia to learn more about becoming a Covenant Partner.

We don't grow in our faith just on our own. Our Missional Community gatherings create space for authentic relationships and shared growth as we learn to be on mission with Jesus.

Join us every second Sunday after service in the Connection Cafe. Bring your own meal or snack (plus a little extra to share with others) and join in the conversation. Whether you're here for the food and/or the Bible Discovery, however you choose to participate, you help make this community what it is.

• Share food and conversation
• Engage in meaningful discussion
• Explore living missionally together
• Come monthly or when you can

God has gifted and equipped us uniquely to serve the church and help it fulfill its mission. An essential part of our spiritual growth happens when we use the gifts He has given us.

First review the ministry opportunities and description

Then get involved!

God has equipped each of us for His mission, but there are some of us that he calls into leadership. Find out more about our leadership track by contacting Pastor Cheryl Lavornia.

The ID group is a year-long discipleship cohort. Contact Pastor Cheryl Lavornia for more information.

As God grows us, we often find that there is more for us to learn about ourselves.
