Daily Concerns

Go “offline” with ROOV

ROOV.comSeems like everyone has to be “online” these days through gaming, virtual worlds, messaging, social networking, etc. I’m getting seriously concerned that the more connected we are the more disconnected we become from real, authentic relationships. That’s where ROOV comes in. Another social networking site? Seriously? Yes… but ROOV is different, much different. ROOV is an online community, yet their goal is get people together “offline”.

To quote Micah Davis, one of the ROOV.com founders, “We want to connect like-minded individuals together around their shared experiences and passions within their church and city. A ‘ROOV’ is centered on intentional conversations with the intent of getting people online to get them offline in real life gatherings”.

I love fresh ideas on an old concept! So whether your passion is overseas missions, hiking, basketball, music, or something else entirely, then there’s likely a ROOV being formed now. You can meet new friends with shared interests in your local community (that’s the key, it’s local) and then go offline to experience life together doing what you’re passionate about.

Check out this video to learn more, then visit ROOV.com to get connected now!

Thanks Curtis!  ROOV has a strong bent towards facilitating missional community on a local level.  Community is a huge passion of ours and we feel that there's a big deficiency of it within the body of Christ.

Best idea I've heard of since small groups. What a great way to connect with real people. With more & more of our churches becoming mega churches it's getting more difficult to connect with each other. Fantastic idea!!
