Roots Summer Leadership Program 2020:


Equip & Empower

Welcome!
RSLP is a FREE program designed to grow, develop, equip, & empower youth leaders in the Roots Youth Ministry.
​I'm glad you're here!

Is RSLP for you?

• Are you an incoming 6th-12th grade student?
• Are you ready to learn what it really means to trust God, follow Jesus, and live a life worthy of your God-given calling?
• Do you want to learn about how to be a Christian among your friends, at school, and around family?

If you said Yes to these Qs, then RSLP is for you!!
​

Program details:

Each week we will have: teachings, discussions, break times (bring your own snack + outdoor free time), identity-in-Christ development, group activities, prayer, and a weekly challenge to complete before next week’s RSLP gathering.​​

Materials we ask RSLP youth to bring:

• Their own personal Bible. This is to be a physical book to hold, read, and highlight verses in. NOTE: If youth does not have a personal Bible yet, please contact me (Brittney) so I can put one in their hands.
• A portable outdoor chair.
• A pen/pencil and a highlighter.
• A small snack to eat during break time (these are not to be shared).
