What is Rooted Retreat?

Rooted Retreat is a four day gathering at the start of the school year, grounding students in scripture and equipping them to return to their schools with bold, spirit-filled faith.

Everything we do is rooted in Scripture. Through teaching, worship, and time in the Word, students will be challenged to know Jesus deeply and build their lives on His truth.

Gospel-Centered Teaching

This year, we are focusing on what it means to live with the power of Holy Spirit and boldly live out our faith. Students will be equipped to stand firm, share their faith, and live as witnesses in their schools and communities.

Power & Witness

Rooted is built around intentional relationships. Through small groups and cabin time, we pray the students will build friendships that are real and built around Jesus.
