Roots Youth Group

At Roots, we want students to grow deeper in their relationship with Jesus and their friendships with one another as they abide in the truth, love, and hope of God’s Word. Our small group leaders encourage students in their faith & cheer them on in life.

  • Resources For Christian Parents | Rooted Ministry

    Rooted is my go-to website and has lots of resources, including for parents. I especially like their podcasts.

  • Your Spiritual Journey

    One of the most effective tools I have found with students is Perimeter’s “Spiritual Journey.” I think it gives shape to the ups, downs, and wild swings of being a teenage Christian. I encourage you to do it yourself and use it as part of your vocabulary.

  • Are My Kids on Track? | Groups Curriculum

    I definitely think emotional-spiritual development is one differentiator I have seen in my time in the youth group. Youth group is an important supplement to a child’s faith. BUT, it is no replacement for the warmth, discipline, and intentionality of dad and mom. I encourage you to take a step back and consider where your student is at developmentally and cultivate conversations that get to the heart of life.

  • The Tech-Wise Family is the single best book you can read, and you can click here for a podcast overview. “The Anxious Generation” by Jonthan Haidt is also fantastic.
