MEDIA ADVISORY, July 28 /Christian Newswire/ -- A new website, ROOV.com, is changing the way that church community connects.

ROOV.com, which opened nationwide on July 22, 2008, facilitates Christian community by bringing individuals together around their shared passions within their church and city.

ROOV answers the question, "What could I accomplish if I was in community with people that shared the same passions that I have?" ROOV.com groups people around what the site calls their ROOVs. A ROOV is something that you are doing, have done or want to do (i.e. go camping, do inner city outreach, etc). Taking it one step further, ROOV creates real community by encouraging people to connect in real life through gatherings -- a dying trend in the online world.

Four of the many ROOVs people have connected around include: Cultivating Community, Leadership Development, Overseas Missions and Playing Ultimate Frisbee.

"ROOV has been open in Dallas since March and the real-life community that has developed in the DFW area has been remarkable," said Chris Capehart, one of the three ROOV co-founders. "Christians are gathering around things of substance and the momentum has only just begun."
