DOING CHURCH FLOOR BY FLOOR
The Christian life is not designed to be a spectator sport. It’s a journey. Here at Rooftop, we want to be a place where people take steps forward to experience all that God has for them in their growing relationship with Him. That’s why we designed a map to help people understand how to take those next steps. We call it “Doing church floor by floor.” Want to know more or take the next step? Contact us!
FIRST FLOOR: Come
The First Floor is where we all start when we COME to Rooftop, Sunday Service, or a Rooftop Party/Event. Check out our Connect Lunch every other month to meet some people and learn more about us and what we believe.
SECOND FLOOR: Connect
The Second Floor is where people begin to CONNECT through involvement with small groups and important friendships and Christian relationships. Our small groups are communities who meet weekly to study the Bible, build friendships and do life together.

THIRD FLOOR: Contribute
The Third Floor is where we live out God’s call for us to serve and CONTRIBUTE our gifts and abilities to the church we have made our home. That means serving with one of our ministry teams such as the Rooftots Children's Ministry, Worship Team, Cleaning Team or Lawn Crew. You can also plug into an outeach team to serve the community such as the Homeless Outreach or Affton Christian Food Pantry.

FOURTH FLOOR: Commit
The Fourth Floor is the place where Rooftoppers COMMIT to be an integral part of the church and church community.
So what does it mean to be committed to Rooftop? It means to be actively committed to Rooftop's Big Six Key Practices (see below) as a follower of Christ. It means making a convenient promise to follow Jesus alongside other Rooftoppers.
BIG SIX KEY PRACTICES
Learning who God is and how to live our lives. To value teaching is to study the Bible, listen to sermons, follow Rooftop’s Statement of Faith, and generally live life according to how God says we should, in Scripture.
Sharing God’s love with others. To value evangelism means to invite people to church, to talk about Jesus to others, to reach out to people who are different from us, and to care about others who don’t know Jesus.
Prioritizing the needs of others. To value service, which is often called our “3rd Floor”, means to use your talents to serve the church, to help others when they need it, to serve and give to the poor. We do this by joining at least one serving team here at Rooftop.
Giving God all the devotion and honor He deserves. To value worship means to come to church, to praise God with singing, to tithe God’s money back to him, and to live a life of devotion to Jesus, who rules over all.
Living together as God’s family. To value community, which is sometimes called our “2nd Floor”, means to get to know others at church, to talk about your struggles, to work out conflict like Jesus says, and to live as a member of God’s family — not an isolated Christian.
Asking God to do what we can’t do. To value prayer means to pray for your church leaders, to lay hands on the sick, to expect miracles from God, and to ask God’s Spirit to give us strength and wisdom to do his work.
