Registration Now Open for Kidfest 2016

Frontier Kidfest will be the opening Kidfest event in the Kidfest season 2016 on April 8-10 at the Westin Hotel in Irving, Texas, the Frontier Kidfest will attract hundreds.

Children’s ministry leaders from churches in Texas, New Mexico, South Central Hispanic Region and the Heartland Region will take their groups for a weekend encounter with the Holy Spirit. There will be four church services programmed for kids and geared to their liking.
“It will be an awesome opportunity for children to enjoy uninhibited worship and praise in an environment with hundreds of their peers as they together proclaim we serve a God without limits,” stated Tony Lane, Children’s Ministry Coordinator for the Church of God. “Every year, hundreds of boys and girls are filled with the Baptism of the Holy Spirit.”

Lane said International Youth and Discipleship understands the need to target those between the age of 4 and 14 and is doing everything possible to reach those within the 4/14 window. Ministry to children has been a priority for many years.

Kidfest has been a ministry of Youth and Discipleship since 2002. Since its beginning in Texas, Kidfest has expanded to five locations in the United States, as well as internationally where the ideas have been built upon.

“Kidfest 2016 will be bigger and better than ever before in the history of the event!” Lane continued. “With the theme, TURN IT UP, the focus in each of the five venues will focus on helping children understand the importance of TURNING UP THE PRAISE TO OUR GOD!”

Midwest Kidfest will continue at the Great Wolf Lodge in Mason, Ohio on April 15-17, where space is limited and the cost includes a 3-day admission to the indoor waterpark, as well as the four services. April 22-24 is the date of the Carolina Kidfest which will once again be held at the Charlotte, NC Renaissance Suites Hotel. Smoky Mountain Kidfest is scheduled for April 29-May 1 and will be held for the sixth year at the Gatlinburg Convention Center, the earlier site of Winterfest.
