THIS IS ROOTED
Faith That Goes Beyond Sunday
Rooted Youth exists to encourage students to Stay Connected, Stay in the Word, and Stand Firm as we Follow Jesus Together.
School. Sports. Friendships. Dating. Social media. Pressure. Decisions. Doubts. Faith. All of it matters. Rooted is a place where we take real life seriously and open the Bible to see what God actually says.
WHAT WE’RE ABOUT
01 // STAY CONNECTED
You weren’t created to follow Jesus alone. Rooted is about friendships, encouragement, laughter, serving together, and having people around you who are trying to follow Christ too.
02 // STAY IN THE WORD
Faith can’t be built on trends, opinions, or whatever shows up on your feed. We open the Bible and learn what God has actually said.
03 // STAND FIRM
Following Jesus isn’t always easy. We want students to know what they believe, know why they believe it, and have the courage to live differently because they belong to Christ.
A ROOTED NIGHT
What Actually Happens?
Games + Hangout
There is time to hang out, compete, laugh, and have fun together. Some nights are normal. Some nights get a little ridiculous.
Bible Teaching
We open Scripture and talk about what it actually says. The goal is Bible-heavy, practical teaching that connects with the choices and situations students face every day.
Real Questions
Questions are welcome. Rooted is a place where students can talk honestly about faith, life, doubts, relationships, decisions, and following Jesus.
Missions + Serving
Following Jesus means more than sitting in a room. Throughout the year we look for opportunities to serve others, participate in missions, reach our community, and put faith into action.
COLOSSIANS 2:6–7
ROOTED & BUILT UP IN CHRIST.
The goal isn’t just to get students to youth group. We want students growing deep roots in Jesus that will still be there long after graduation.
WHAT WE TALK ABOUT
Real Life. Biblical Truth.
We believe the Bible speaks into every part of life. Rooted includes topical studies and studies through books of the Bible.
Friendships • Dating • School • Sports • Social Media • Identity • Faith • Doubts • Choices • Relationships • Serving • Missions • Following Jesus
DON’T KNOW ANYONE?
That’s Okay.
You don’t have to already be part of the group. You don’t have to know all the Bible answers. And you don’t have to pretend to be someone you’re not.
Show up. Meet some people. Give it a night.
