So… church, eh? 
We get it. Walking into a spiritual space with a bunch of strangers can be overwhelming and super awkward. You’re likely wondering if we’re weird and if your kids will be safe and probably a million other anxiety-inducing questions. That is totally fair.
First off, Grassroots isn’t weird 
and we absolutely prioritize your kids’ safety, ensuring all volunteers are vetted and have vulnerable sector checks. We invite you to keep exploring and/or connect with our pastor.

Before You Enter the Social Media Battleground: A Call for Discernment
Ugh. That’s the sense I get these days when I think of social media. It wasn’t always like this. I worked directly in the “social media industry” for over 10 years and have been an avid user of these tools for ~10 years prior to that.
