Rooted Junior

Creating safe spaces for children to explore who they are, why they matter and the difference Jesus makes...

What is Rooted Junior?

Bible reading

Rooted Junior is a way of being, a way of thinking about long-term relational ministry with children, particularly those aged 8-11. Rooted Junior works in any context, with any level of faith development and with any level of ability. 

Rooted Junior is adaptable, accessible, invitational and creative. The Rooted Junior material places the child at the centre. It seeks to provide space for that child to grow, flourish and be nurtured in a safe, committed and compassionate Christian community. Rooted Junior aims to unlock potential in each child, enabling them to be the very best version of themselves, helping them to become all that God intended them to be. 

'I am really excited about Rooted Junior, and it feels like a timely approach for us. It is so important to be investing in the wellbeing and emotional health of our primary-aged children, and I am sure that the schools we work with will really value it.'  - Sarah Williams, Team Leader, Christians in Schools Trust
