Rooted is a weekly, faith-based after-school program designed specifically for middle school students who are looking for a place to belong, grow, and have fun. Hosted in the Riverside Middle School gym every Wednesday from 2:15–3:15 PM, Rooted creates a safe and welcoming space where students can explore their faith, build meaningful friendships, and enjoy a midweek break filled with food, fun, and fellowship. We want to encourage students to engage in their faith journeys with their classmates and friends, learning what it means to be a Christ-like leader and the importance of community.

Each week includes:
🍕 Food – A light snack to refuel after the school day
🎉 Fun – Games, activities, and team challenges
✝️ Faith – A short, relevant devotion rooted in Scripture. Guest speakers with a passion for Christ.
🤝 Fellowship – Small-group faith-based conversations where students can connect, share, and be encouraged

Rooted is led by caring mentors who are passionate about helping students build confidence, discover their purpose, and grow deeper in their relationship with Christ—all in an environment that is positive, supportive, and student-centered.

All middle schoolers are welcome. Come as you are, come when you can, and come ready to grow.
