A new story for the Church

This season offers a unique opportunity to turn a narrative of decline into a story of new possibility. Together, we can reframe the problems we face and imagine ways of becoming the Church the world needs today.

A Church that's resilient. Courageous. Imaginative.

RootedGood resources churches and leaders, and catalyzes systems-level change, as we imagine and become something new for the good of our communities.

How we help

We help congregations, and the institutions that support them, with:

Generating new forms of income through social enterprise

Several colorful shovels in red, blue, green, yellow, purple, and orange are stuck into a mound of dark soil on grass. Six white buckets filled with soil surround the shovels, with two people's legs visible in the background.

Using and developing buildings and land for revenue and ministry
