How was the name 'Grounded' chosen? Grounded, established in 2023, comes from 2 Corinthians 1:7 which says:

"Our hope for you is firmly grounded knowing that as you are partners in our sufferings, so also you are in our comfort."

Our Peer Ministers went through a rigorous discernment process with a variety of different names, theologies, scriptures, etc. After selecting Grounded as the new name for youth ministry, the Peer Ministry Team went into Church and asked for the Holy Spirit to guide them in selecting the scripture that would help us remain 'Grounded'. Following prayer the team reconvened in the conference room and unanimously selected 2 Corinthians 1:7 and it was in that moment where we all realized the hope of being Grounded in Christ means sharing in each others sufferings and in each others joy. 

In our listening and in our research, we have found that young people are looking for community - especially a community in which they can openly share their faith, struggles, triumphs, sorrows and be supported regularly by their peers and adult leaders. Our goal is that young people will find that community at Grounded. Whether that be through small group (small faith communities), fellowship (activities), retreats, or service, we belief that these opportunities will keep young people 'Grounded' in their faith which will last a lifetime. 

We are so glad that you are here! If you have any questions or would like more information about Grounded Youth Ministry, please contact Jason Prigge.
