NEW TO THE CHURCH? NEW TO FAITH? NEEDING COMMUNITY?

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 Tuesdays at 6-7:30pm from September 8–November 10 at Christ Community Church's Aurora Campus.
Registration will open August 8.

FIND YOUR PLACE TO SERVE
We want to help you find the place where you can use your unique gifts and abilities to impact our church and world. Serving is a great way to meet others, make an impact, and make Christ Community your church.
BECOME A MEMBER
Membership is a way of saying “I’m all in! This church is my church.”
Christ Community offers a collection of videos and reading assignments that equips people to thrive as followers of Jesus in this local congregation. Taking this course is how people become official members here at Christ Community.
This online membership class is on-demand and can be started at any time. You can start, stop, and pick back up where you left off at your convenience. You’ll get to ask questions along the way and you’ll connect with a pastor for a one-on-one conversation at the end of the course.
NEW TO BIBLE READING?
Have you tried to read the Bible, but got confused or bored, so you stopped? Maybe you’re curious about the Bible, but you’re too intimidated to open it up. Maybe you’ve been to church, and they started talking about Moses or 2 Kings or the epistles, and you had no idea what they were talking about, but you were too embarrassed to ask someone about it.
Getting Started with the Bible is for you. This course begins from the basics, explaining what the Bible is, where it came from, how it’s organized, and what it contains. By the end, you'll also learn a simple approach to reading any passage of Scripture and discovering practical truths you can apply to your life. No prior knowledge of the Bible is necessary.
This online course is available on YouTube and suitable for individual study at your own pace or in a group setting.
TWO-YEAR CAMPAIGN
Christ Community Church has launched a two-year campaign to adopt and revitalize two struggling churches in communities that need healthy, gospel-proclaiming, churches like Christ Community.
Whether you’re brand new or have been giving to Christ Community for a long time, you’re invited to prayerfully consider taking a bold step forward. You can still make your commitment.
READ EVERY DAY WITH BIBLE SAVVY
Dig into God's Word with the daily, 4-year Bible reading plan.
WORKPLACE PRAYER GUIDES
On any given day at work, we might experience a number of challenging situations — whether that's dealing with a difficult boss, getting overlooked for a promotion, or experiencing a sense of purposelessness in our work. That's why we've developed audio prayer guides that address a variety of situations, so that they can help you pray through the specific situation you're facing.
