Youth Group
We are ROOTed together
Welcome to Rooted Youth Group 2026-2027! Rooted Youth Group is a welcoming and inclusive faith-based community for all youth grades 6-8. We are excited to kick-off another year of youth group, centered on our values of:
- Come as you are
- Food, fellowship, faith fun
- Safe
- Intergenerational
- Multi-church (currently First Presbyterian, United Methodist, and Seeds of Faith Lutheran)
As always, we encourage youth to come when they can, not just at the start time, and they are more than welcome to bring friends. We welcome all the youth from our community!
