Rooted is a weekend to get away, worship together, build real connections, and dig into what God says about who we are.

If you’re ready for a fresh encounter with God and a chance to grow alongside friends, this is your weekend.
A little more about the experience: Throughout the weekend, students will be encouraged to slow down, listen for God’s voice, and discover the truth of who He says they are. Through teaching, prayer, and community, they’ll learn how God transforms us from the inside out, shaping our identity, strengthening our foundation, and preparing us for the purpose He’s placed on our lives.
