The Rooted

Rooted and built up in him, and stablished in the faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with thanksgiving.

Colossians 2

The Rooted is WOCM’s Nairobi youth ministry, which aims to nurture young believers in the word of God. Young people have unmatched zest, which makes them capable of crazy things. Harnessing that energy can be a challenge for many youths. It is therefore pertinent that young people be rooted and built up in salvation lest they destroy their lives through vain actions. 

Vision 

Demonstrate the power and love of God to fellow young people

Mission

To train youths to be rooted and grounded in God’s love and Christ himself and to reach out to the young generation.

 

The Rooted Core Values

Compassion

Jesus Christ was compassionate. A Christian full of love has compassion. This is the ability to show great concern for others regardless of status

Integrity

Integrity can be coined as doing the right thing at the right time for the right reasons especially when no one is looking. A society full of integrity depicts moral principles and god character

Honesty

This is a factor of integrity that constitutes an aspect of transparency, truthfulness and sincerity in speech and action

Reliability

The ability to be present when needed in the house of God, relationships (family and friends)

Accountability

Ability to justify actions and decisions according to the Word of God and according to what is right. Accountability is taking responsibility as required

Obedience

Heeding to the Word of God and submitting to authority. Obedience trains us t be valuable people in future

Humility

The ability to serve God and others in all occasions as required. Also depicts service to God and to others. Humility sets us up for exaltation since the law of humility states that the one who humbles themselves shall be uplifted

Teachability

The ability to learn is very valuable. Young people are inexperienced in several aspects of life and therefore need to accept guidance from older people to develop excellent skillsets required to navigate through life

Proactivity

Ability to think forward and take control instead of waiting for thins to happen and react.
