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.
LIFE-CHANGING 9-WEEK PROGRAM

NEW MONTHLY PRAYER GATHERING
Where have you been hoping for a breakthrough? Health issue, wayward child, stubborn addiction, struggling marriage?
BreakTHRU prayer gatherings are all-campus events at the St. Charles Campus on the last Sunday evening (6-8pm) of each month. These BreakTHRU prayer gatherings are unlike anything we’ve ever planned here at Christ Community. The time is divided into four 30-minute segments. The first and last half-hour are optional. The auditorium will be open for personal prayer and worship. Sit, kneel, or pace the rows on your own as you pray. The pastors and elders of our six campuses will also be available to pray FOR you. But the middle hour–6:30-7:30–is the core of the evening. There will be a 30-minute training on a specific breakthrough topic, followed by 30 minutes of focused, small-group prayer on that topic. No registration required!
Some of the topics we'll be covering over coming months include: How to pray for our children, how to pray for healing, why prayers go unanswered, what to pray for our country/government, and how to combat evil forces as we pray.

"WHAT WAS I THINKING?"
January 21, 2026, 7:30-9 am
Every leader has had that moment when they looked back on a decision and thought, “What was I thinking?” Sometimes the cost is small. Other times, it profoundly affects our teams, our families, our churches, and our calling in ways we never intended. How do you make good decisions under pressure, while carrying the responsibility of leading others?
On Wednesday, January 21 from 7:30-9am at the St. Charles/South Elgin Campus, we’ll have the chance to hear from David Ashcraft, the President and CEO of the Global Leadership Network (GLN) and the author of "What Was I Thinking?: How to Make Better Decisions So You Can Live and Lead with Confidence." Prior to leading at GLN, David was the founding pastor for Lancaster County Bible Church (LCBC) and served there for 32 years, where attendance grew from 150 to 22,000 and 19 campuses.
During this gathering, we’ll explore:
• Why even wise, well-intentioned leaders make poor decisions
• How self-awareness and humility shape better judgment
• How to lead with confidence without arrogance
• How to learn from regret rather than be defined by it
This special Business Owner's Breakfast is open to any leaders interested.

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.
