We highly encourage people to start with Rooted. Rooted introduces group members to practices and experiences that are foundational to our small group strategy, making Rooted a valuable "primer." Plus, the Rooted experience is beneficial to Christians in all stages of their faith journey.

That said, if you have been invited to join an existing group by a friend, you do not need to complete Rooted before joining that group.

If you have already completed Rooted and want to join a new group, you can explore open groups here.

New Rooted Groups are primarily determined by availability - you register for a Rooted group based on your desired evening of the week. Additionally, we strive to group people based on common life stages or shared interests.

For existing groups, use the Group Finder page to search for an open group based on meeting day, gender, age or stage of life, and whether childcare is available.

Groups meet weekly in homes, at Constance, or in the community. Typically, a group meets for 1.5-2 hours to pray, study the Bible, and share updates about their lives with one another. Groups also participate in a serving experience at least once per semester.

Use our Group Finder page to request to join an existing group. Or, completed a Group Leader Application to begin leading a new group.

Childcare is available for groups meeting Sunday and Tuesday evenings at Constance. On Tuesday evenings, childcare is available for children 2 years old and under, and children 3 years old to 5th grade must register for Constance Kids Club.

For groups that meet outside of Constance, we leave it to each family to arrange their childcare. Sometimes it works best for families to share a sitter or to swap childcare with another family whose group meets on a different evening.
