You Don't Drift Into Spiritual Growth | Rooted

Spiritual growth is something many of us want—but fewer of us know how to sustain. We attend church, listen to sermons, and believe the right things, yet still find ourselves feeling stuck, disconnected, or spiritually dry.

In Acts 2, we see a different picture of faith—one that didn’t grow by accident, but through intentional devotion.

The early church “devoted themselves” to rhythms that shaped who they became: Scripture, prayer, shared meals, generosity, and life together. Their faith wasn’t limited to a weekly gathering—it was formed in community and lived out daily.

At Friends Church Sacramento, we believe this kind of formation still matters today. Spiritual maturity was never meant to be a solo project. God designed us to grow alongside others, rooted in relationships that encourage honesty, accountability, and love.

When faith is healthy, it becomes visible.
It shows up in how we serve, how we give, and how we care for our neighbors. That’s exactly what happened in the early church—and the result was real impact in their city and beyond.

That’s why we’re inviting people into Rooted, a small group experience designed to help individuals and families build intentional rhythms with God and one another. Rooted isn’t about perfection—it’s about formation. It’s a place to grow deeper, ask honest questions, and rediscover what fuels a lasting faith.

If you’re searching for a church near you, or looking for a church in Sacramento that values authentic community, spiritual growth, and meaningful relationships, we’d love to invite you to Friends Church Sacramento.

You don’t have to grow alone—and you don’t have to figure faith out by accident.
