How membership works
1. Apply
Create an account and tell us a little about you and your faith journey. Anyone who is interested is welcome to apply, from any church or none.
2. Meet us
Some applicants are invited to a short, friendly conversation with our coordinators.
3. Get approved
Once approved you can join events, use member resources and take part in the community.
Optional, personal introductions
Some members would like help meeting someone for a relationship. If you opt in, our coordinators, not an algorithm, may suggest an introduction, thoughtfully and privately. Nobody is introduced unless both people say yes first. You can pause or leave at any time without losing your place in the community. Once you are approved, you can choose whether to take part by completing a private questionnaire. You can pause or withdraw at any time.
Safety and belonging
Safety first
Applications are reviewed by people, not algorithms. Members control what they share, and any concern can be raised with our coordinators.
Faith at the center
Prayer, Scripture and service shape what we do. Come as you are.
Friendship before romance
Community is the main thing. Joining never means you are 'looking'.
A ministry of the Praying Mothers
Rooted is run by the Praying Mothers, a community of Yoruba Christian mothers praying for families. Learn about their prayer, programs and devotionals.
Questions
Do I need to belong to a particular church?
No. Members come from many churches. Your church is optional on your profile.
Is this a dating app?
No. It is a community for friendship, growth and events. If you choose, you can also opt in to introductions that our coordinators arrange personally, and only with both people's consent.
Who can see my information?
Only our coordinators can see your application. Other members can't browse your profile, and your details are never public.
Why is there an application?
It keeps the community safe and welcoming. We want everyone to know that the people they meet have been thoughtfully welcomed.
Does approval mean you've background-checked me or vouched for me?
No. Approval means a coordinator reviewed your application and welcomed you. We don't run background checks, so please use good judgment when meeting anyone, and follow the Community Guidelines.
