From the Field

What Ministry Leaders Are Saying

Real feedback from NextGen directors using Rooted Grid every week.

★★★★★

Rooted Grid cut my prep time in half. I used to spend Sunday nights rewriting lessons I found online. Now I download, customize a detail or two, and my volunteers feel equipped. The kids are more engaged than they've ever been.

Sarah M.Children's Ministry Director · Texas
★★★★★

The high school series on doubt and deconstruction was the most honest, theologically grounded curriculum I've ever used with students. We had conversations that went 30 minutes past small group time. That doesn't happen with any other resource.

Marcus T.Student Pastor · Georgia
★★★★★

Managing two tracks from one place is a game changer. I previously used three separate curricula. Rooted Grid unified everything — same theology, same quality, age-appropriate for every room in the building.
