What is Rooted?

To empower world-changers to thrive in life by walking with God, aligning with their true design, and discipling the nations.

  1. Intimacy (deeply rooting in God)
  2. Identity (discovering your design)
  3. Destiny (aligning with your purpose)
  4. Community (faith-fueling relationships)
  5. Israel (the apple of God’s eye)

Rooted is designed for college-aged, hungry followers of Jesus who desire to deepen their faith, awaken their identity, and activate their callings in the context of life-changing community.

In January, we will fly in participants from all over the country for a three day kickoff intensive.

February through April, evening sessions will be offered virtually for out-of-state students and in-person at SAMBICA for local students. We will conclude our training with a culminating three-day intensive in mid-May.

Beginning in June, participants will inspire other summer staff to live with BOLD FAITH at SAMBICA as they share the Gospel with 3,000 campers.

Participants then reunite in September or March 2025 to celebrate God's goodness with a capstone trip to Israel to meet God's chosen people and walk in the footsteps of Jesus.

In summer of 2020, we had a dream of helping young leaders discover and align with their God-given design. We wanted to help them walk intimately with God, know their true identity, and boldly carry out God's calling on their lives. We recruited our first Rooted cohort in January 2021, and have trained two cohorts since. We are inspired by their personal transformation and the impact they have had on campers, summer staff, the people of Israel, and their communities back home.

We are excited for all God has in store for 2024 as we welcome our new Rooted participants and take our 2023 cohort to Israel!

SAMBICA has partnered with Passages for the past three years to bring Christian students on life-changing trips to the Holy Land.
