  • WHAT IS ROOTED AND READY

  • Rooted & Ready isn’t just a college prep workshop.
    It’s a spiritual commissioning—a bold, two-day experience that anchors families in truth before students ever pack their bags.

    Because college doesn’t just test students academically.
    It tests identity, faith, belonging, resilience, and purpose.
    This is where we prepare for all of it.

  • Why Rooted & Ready?

  • Before They Go, Grow Together.
    Rooted & Ready is a one-day workshop for Christian parents and their college-bound students. Led by educator and ministry leader Kevin Todd, this experience equips families to navigate the transition to college with faith, purpose, and unity.

     

    Why Rooted & Ready?

    Parent + Student Discipleship
    This isn’t just college prep—it’s spiritual formation. You’ll grow together through worship, guided reflection, and practical tools that strengthen your bond before move-in day.

    Faith-First College Success
    Learn how to thrive on campus—academically, emotionally, and spiritually. Kevin draws from years of experience in college success, discipleship, and ministry to prepare students for what’s ahead.
