Rooted at Faith Baptist Canton exists to help teens know and embrace truth in a culture full of confusion and lies. Each week, teens come together to deepen their faith, meet new friends, and create lasting memories. Our youth staff and volunteers are committed to helping you navigate your teen years with biblical courage and wisdom. Regardless of where you may be on your personal journey of faith, we invite you to experience Jesus Christ on a personal level and see for yourself the difference He will make in your life.
What We Believe
There are big questions that haunt all of us. What happens when I die? Where will I spend eternity? The single most important question that you will ever answer is this - “If I were to die today, would I spend eternity in Heaven with God?” Your relationship to Jesus Christ is central to the answer to that question.
The Bible tells us in 1 John 5:13, “These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life...” The simple truth is Jesus loves you, and He wants you to know that you’re going to Heaven.
What We Do
We believe that church should be enjoyed, not endured. Every week, you’ll be able to participate in our weekly Bible study where you’ll be able to connect with friends, learn practical truths that will help you navigate life, and have a great time while you’re doing it. But it doesn’t stop there—crazy activities, summer camps, epic conferences, and foreign missions trips are just a few ways you can connect and grow throughout the year.
Trust us, you won’t want to miss out on this.

Junior High: 7th-8th Grade
The junior high years can be confusing, difficult, and challenging! But they can also be awesome! Through Sunday classes, outreach, monthly activities, annual trips, retreats, and programs, the teens at FBC are challenged and equipped to live for Christ while they are in their youth. Each year, the teens can look forward to camps, trips, outreach events, fun activities, and many opportunities to grow in God’s Word. We do everything within our power to provide the Bible-based wisdom that teens need, combined with the friendly atmosphere that teens enjoy!
Senior High: 9th-12th Grade

Real Fun
Some people think Christians can’t have fun! The fact is, we have more fun than anyone else!! The difference is, this is the kind of fun that won’t get you drunk, high, pregnant, infected, or arrested. It’s the kind of fun you can have with a clear conscience – the kind that creates good memories, hilarious moments, and awesome friendships.

Real Friends
Everyone wants good friends – the kind of friends who will be there for you when you really need them. The common bond is that we all want to know God personally and live out His purposes in our lives. If you’re tired of pretending to be someone so that other people will accept you… quit playing the game. Quit risking your future for someone else’s approval. You will find real friendships and support at the Rooted Youth Group.
Parents of Youth
The student ministry of Faith Baptist Canton is focused on the whole family! Parenting teens can be incredibly difficult. Through regular meetings throughout the year, parents of teens are given practical instruction and insight on raising teens in this challenging culture. Call the church office to find out when the next teen-parent meeting will be held or download the Parent Cue App and see the upcoming activities, meetings, costs, etc!
If there is a specific question or problem you face as the parent of a teenager, please call us at 734.927.4087 ext. 103, and we would be happy to do our best to help.
