We can’t wait to meet you!
ROOTS is the youth ministry at Covenant Grove Church. We know that Middle School (MSM) and High School (HSM) can be tough. ROOTS is a place for students to escape the stresses of life, hang out, meet new friends (bffs for life), discover Christ in a whole new way, and have a bunch of fun. We are a group of students who are committed to Jesus Christ, having fun with one another, and supporting each other every step of the way.
We meet at Covenant Grove Church
– 4825 Roselle Ave.

MIDDLE SCHOOL MINISTRY (MSM) // TUES NIGHTS @ 7:00-8:30PM
The middle school years can be some of the most difficult for students, but also some of the best. At MSM we love having fun and creating lifelong memories! Whether it’s a night of Nerf Wars, Overnighters, or life-size board games one thing is for sure…we know how to have a fun!
Our heart is to pour into students AND families. We seek to bring students into a deeper knowledge of Christ, and his immense love for them. Our passion is to present biblical truths to students in practical, relevant, and memorable ways. Our hope is that students would leave with a desire to grow in their faith, community, and our church.
HIGH SCHOOL MINISTRY (HSM) // WED NIGHTS @ 7:00-8:45PM
Every week at HSM we try to connect as a group to have fun, get a little deeper, pray for each other, and be challenged.
Our desire at Covenant Grove is to build relationships with students that will inspire, transform, and empower students to live out the Gospel in their everyday lives so they can, in turn, invest in the lives of their friends and family.
UPCOMING EVENTS
We love to have fun, building lifelong friendships, and going deep in the faith! One of the awesome ways we do this is through Big Events like Camps, Mission Trips, Overnighters, Beach Trips & More! For More Info contact us!

MEXICO MISSION TRIP 2019
When // July 12th-16th
God has blessed us and called us once again to head to Mexico for an incredible opportunity to serve. This year we will be building homes for families in need. Working with Amor ministries, we will head to Tijuana, Mexico, stay in a tent city, and build an entire home in 3 days! This is an incredible opportunity for us to truly make a difference. Going to Mexico is SAFE. We will be working with Amor Ministry, who has been serving in Mexico for decades, building homes and helping those in need. Serving in Mexico is a powerful way to get a cross-cultural mission experience and grow a heart for missions.
