About Us
The Journey So far....
R.O.O.T.S. is the ladies' ministry within Celebration Ministries International, birthed from a legacy of faith, worship, and discipleship. It all began over 40 years ago in the lounge of Pastor Bonnie Deuschle, where 40 women gathered to grow in God. That humble meeting grew into Covenant Women, a movement that shaped generations of women in purpose and power. Today, R.O.O.T.S. carries that same spirit—grounded in the Word, led by the Spirit, and built on the foundations laid by faithful matriarchs. We are women who are intentional about spiritual growth and godly character. Through discipleship, teaching, and authentic community, we equip women to live rooted, fruitful lives. R.O.O.T.S. stands for Remaining Obedient, Open, Transformed, and Strengthened. We honor our heritage while embracing the future with boldness and faith. R.O.O.T.S. is more than a program—it’s a generational calling. Together, we are becoming women who flourish in every season.

That small seed blossomed into what would become Covenant Women, a movement that discipled, trained, and raised up thousands of women across generations. Her vision laid the foundation for what we now know as R.O.O.T.S., a tailored discipleship journey for women, rooted in faith, character, and generational impact.
