Rooted in Faith: What Your Kids Are Learning — and How You Can Grow Together at Home
At church this month, our kids are diving into a series called Rooted from Wonder Ink.
This series will allow us to dig deeper into what it means to follow Christ and be rooted in Him, shaped by Him, and filled with His Spirit. Growing strong and holding firm in our faith can only happen when our lives and hearts are rooted in Jesus, and when we do this, we’ll discover what is most important to God: that we love Him and love others. We’ll understand that being rooted in Him causes His love to transform us, that He calls us to be humble like Jesus, and that love and wisdom come from God. When we allow ourselves to be rooted in His love, we will grow, flourish, and live abundant, fruit-filled lives.
Each week, your kids are discovering a key truth about who God is, how much He loves them, and what it means to follow Jesus. They’re not just learning what the Bible says — they’re learning how to live it out.
Here’s a quick look at what your child is learning — and how you can bring those truths home.

Why It Matters The Rooted series isn’t just a lesson for Sunday — it’s a way of life for every day. When our kids understand that faith isn’t just something they hear about once a week but something they can live out, they begin to see how deeply they’re loved by God — and how they can grow strong in Him.
We’re here to partner with you. Ask your kids what they’re learning, practice small faith steps at home, and keep watering those seeds. The roots are growing — and we’re so excited to grow together.
