What to expect ?
Church unity made visible. Young Christians from around the world. A summer like no other.
Rooted in Unity is an unforgettable event for young Christians of all denominations. It is taking place at the heart of the World Youth Day (WYD), the largest regular Christian gathering on Planet Earth.
Yes, you read correctly.
We’ll be coming together in (we pray) sunny Lisbon, Portugal, in the first week of August 2023 for a time of praise, prayer and power.
There will be worship in different styles, plenty of inspiration and opportunities to meet other young people who love Jesus.
We will be diving deep into faith-related subjects with renowned speakers such as Stephen Cottrell, Archbishop of York, and Joe Tosini of John 17.
The aim is pretty simple : that you will return home with a full heart, inspired and encouraged that being Rooted In Unity is part of our identity in Christ.
