The ROOTED Fall Retreat is one of the most impactful weekends a student can experience! Open to 6th–12th graders, this fall gathering at Camp Glisson in Dahlonega is filled with powerful worship, dynamic speakers, and meaningful fellowship within student ministry.
What makes ROOTED truly unique is that it’s planned by the youth leadership of the North Georgia Conference, giving students a voice and ownership in shaping the retreat. Designed by youth, for youth, the weekend features lessons and activities that focus on the topics that matter most to them. Participants will explore what it means to be rooted in their faith through spiritual formation, community involvement, and outreach.
Retreats like ROOTED are an essential part of student ministry. Stepping away from daily routines gives students space to encounter God in new ways, strengthen friendships, and deepen their sense of belonging in the Body of Christ. For many, weekends like this become turning points in their faith journey.
Over the years, I have seen many students transformed by ROOTED. They’ve discovered a stronger connection to their church and found meaningful ways to serve, grow, and put down roots through this life-changing experience. We encourage all parents to prayerfully consider giving their student the opportunity to attend.
ROOTED is more than a retreat – it is a chance to grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and take meaningful steps in their spiritual journey.
