DEKALB
NEW TO THE CHURCH? NEW TO FAITH? NEEDING COMMUNITY?
Rooted is our church's 10-week, group-based experience that will help you develop Christ-centered rhythms to deepen your connection with God, the church, and your purpose. Each week of Rooted focuses on topics and rhythms essential to living as a disciple of Jesus. You will learn about God and prayer, suffering and repentance, serving and generous living, sharing your story and worship, all through the lens of God's Word.
Our fall Rooted session is on Mondays at 6:30–8:30pm from September 14–November 16 at Christ Community Church's DeKalb Campus.
REAL CARE. REAL HOPE. RIGHT HERE.
Whether you’re navigating anxiety or depression or seeking ways to strengthen your marriage, Care Night offers groups designed to meet you where you are.
The fall session begins Tuesday, September 8 (6:30-8:30pm).
BIBLICAL WISDOM FOR YOUR FINANCIAL LIFE
Money touches nearly every part of life, yet most of us were never taught how to approach it God's way.
Whether you're experiencing financial stress, working through debt, learning to budget, planning for the future, or simply wanting to be more intentional with your finances, Generosity University (GenU) can help.
GenU is an 8-week biblical financial discipleship experience that combines practical financial tools with biblical wisdom about money, stewardship, and generosity. You'll develop healthy financial habits, grow in confidence, and learn to align your financial decisions with your faith.

OVERCOMING THE LONELINESS OF LEADERSHIP
Leadership can be isolating. Your challenges feel too specific for anyone else to understand, and people hesitate to bring you problems because "you're the boss." You crave real community — you're just not sure where to find it.
Join us for a panel discussion on facing the isolation of leadership, and how to build a community of support and guidance around you.
WHEN: Wednesday, September 2, 7:30-9am
WHERE: St. Charles/South Elgin Campus
