What is Rooted?

Rooted offers a new and different approach to youth ministry. By encouraging the development of long-term relationships with young people, it provides strong foundations for the nurture of lifelong, authentic faith. It is a simple way for churches and youth leaders to engage young people.

Rooted is an innovative and flexible framework for long-term relational ministry with young people, which can be used in any context, with any level of faith development and with any level of ability. 

Rooted starts where young people are at - culturally, in their interests and passions, and at their faith stage –  providing space for each person to grow, flourish and be nurtured in a safe, committed and compassionate Christian community.

Rooted Hubs

Rooted is a model that creates spaces for young people to explore who they are, why they matter and the difference Jesus can make in their life. Rooted hubs are growing in schools, youth groups, local communities and the church. The heart of rooted is to help young people and children to understand that God’s love is relevant in the ‘roots’ of who they are 

Rooted hubs come in all different shapes and sizes from sports hubs, to school lunchtime hubs, illustration hubs, drop-in hubs, and evening hubs. The DNA of a rooted hub is that the young people can chat, learn new skills, build friendships, and have space to delve deeper into big life questions and faith,
