Serving Teenagers from Immigrant Families
Our Savior calls us to love all our neighbors, whatever their culture and wherever their native home.

Whether you are a member of paid staff serving children or teenagers, or a committed lay leader invested in families, we offer a family ministry mentorship to support you.
To encourage and equip parents in their disciple-making role, we need to engage the relational pillars of their cultural framework with humility and winsomeness.
The family is the most basic place in the world where children are formed in knowing and loving God and others: no one will have as significant and lasting an influence as a parent.
Sarah Eekhoff Zylstra’s recent long-form reporting for The Gospel Coalition, “Youth Sports, Healthy Families, and the Future of the Church,” caught our team’s eye as an important read (or listen) for youth ministers and parents.
Imperfect youth ministers and imperfect parents can all be used by God in the lives of students.
We asked our Rooted writers to share their ideas for including grandparents (and grandparent figures) in their ministry to teenagers.
When we partner with parents we are inviting them to carry not only the burdens of ministry, but also the souls of the ministers to the throne of God’s grace.
The goal of the youth minister should be to rely on the Word of God and the grace of the Savior, not choosing the winning side of a church politics debate.
