Rooted Youth

Rooted in Christ. Growing in Faith.

At Sandy Ridge, we believe middle and high school students are not just the church of tomorrow—they are the church of today. Rooted Youth exists to help students find their true identity in Jesus Christ in the midst of a world filled with distractions and competing voices.

So many things fight for a teenager’s attention—school, sports, friends, and culture—but we teach our students the greater truth: that they are loved, rescued, and restored through Jesus. In Him, they discover who they were created to be all along and how to live out their faith with confidence.

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” – Colossians 2:6–7

When We Gather

Sundays | 9:00–10:00 am

Wednesdays | 7:00–8:00 pm

In addition to weekly gatherings, Rooted Youth hosts special events for fun, fellowship, and spiritual growth. We also partner with Parkwood Middle School’s YCI and Parkwood High School’s FCA each Wednesday morning, giving students opportunities to stand for Christ within their schools.

If you’d like to know more, reach out to Kevin & Selena Caviness—they would love to connect with you.
