Creating safe spaces for children and young people to explore who they are, why they matter and the difference Jesus makes...
What is Rooted?
Do you have young people in your community or school who would benefit from a space to explore identity, friendships, choices, faith, and life?
The heart of Rooted is to create space for young people to explore the 'roots' of who they are in any context and any space.
Rooted offers tools to help make this happen and equips churches and youth leaders to build long-term, innovative, relational ministry that equips young people on their journey of faith.
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. Rooted is designed to help young people 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.
Where do I start?
If you're looking to setup a Rooted Hub, the best place to start is with our Rooted Leaders Guide. Filled with workshop ideas, activities, faith exploration and conversation ideas it's a resource that will help you grasp the heart of Rooted and take the first steps in creating a space for young people to grow.
We also have a collection of journals, and conversation cards to encourage conversation, exploration, and reflection both in groups and individually.
