Rooted
Youth Conference
Youth Conference
Rooted is a Youth Conference hosted at StoneRidge Church in Lower Sackville, NS — designed to help high school students grow confident in their faith through powerful teaching, real conversations, practical service and meaningful community.
Students can customize their weekend by choosing three breakout sessions on topics that matter to them—from apologetics and Gospel basics to Alpha Youth in schools, missions, mental health, and more. Session details will be announced soon!
The Rooted Conference also brings plenty of fun and connection: Friday night games and hangout spaces, an overnight sleepover at StoneRidge, and a chance to make an impact through hands-on community service projects.

How do I register? Does my youth pastor do it for me?
Everyone will register for Rooted as an individual through the registration form, although we ask for your home church, this doesn’t mean you have to attend “with” a church or youth group
What is included in the ticket price?
Access to the conference, accommodations, food and a T-Shirt. Also, at Check-in, you’ll receive a T-shirt, a lanyard with your name tag, and a notebook and pen for taking notes. Additional merch will be available for purchase such as stickers and hoodies for those interested.
Do I need to arrange food or a place to stay?
Meals are included in the cost of your ticket and includes a snack Friday night, three meals and a snack on Saturday. Those who attend will have the opportunity to sleep overnight at StoneRidge (on the floor), so make sure to bring a sleeping bag, pillow, and whatever else you need for a good nights rest.
What ages are allowed?
The Rooted Conference is geared towards students who are aged 14-18
What if I have dietary restrictions?
Please let us know in advance if you have any exceptions to your diet.
What should I bring with me?
You should bring a Bible, your favourite notebook and pen, packed clothes for overnight, toothbrush, toothpaste, deodorant and any other toiletries (there are no showers available) as well as bedding for overnight (sleeping bag, pillow, etc.). Also make sure to dress for the weather as service projects may involve heading outdoors
When do I pick my sessions?
You’ll pick your 3 breakout workshop sessions at a later date after you register! Make sure to keep a close eye on your inbox for the invitation to get that done.
Do I pick what service project I get?
Specific communication about service projects will go out ahead of Rooted and students and leaders will have the chance to select which projects they’d prefer on a first come, first serve basis
