"Let your roots grow down into Him, and let your lives be built on Him.  Then your faith will grow strong in the truth you were taught, and you will overflow with thankfulness."

Colossians 2:7

The mission of Roots Children’s Ministry is to partner with families in nurturing a deep relationship with Jesus and a solid understanding of Scripture for the next generation of Christ-loving leaders! When kids join us, they enter safe, age-appropriate environments where they will explore the teachings of Jesus, engage in meaningful connections, and have an exciting time growing in their faith. Together, we aim to inspire a love for God's Word and cultivate a lasting relationship with Him.
