Kidfest 2012 Season Opens in Texas
Last weekend, Frontier Kidfest opened the Kidfest season 2012. Held on April 13-15 at the Westin Hotel in Irving, Texas, the Frontier Kidfest registration was the best in the history of Frontier Kidfest, with about 850 in attendance. Children’s ministry leaders from churches in Texas, New Mexico, South Central Hispanic Region and the Heartland Region took their groups for a weekend encounter with the Holy Spirit. Four dynamic church services were offered and programmed for kids and geared to their liking. It was an awesome opportunity for children to enjoy uninhibited worship and praise in an environment with hundreds of their peers as they together proclaim their intent to follow Jesus.
Teaching kids to know Jesus and tell others about Him is the focus of all that is done in the children’s ministry of Church of God Youth and Discipleship!
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 in the department 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 idea has been built upon. Kidfest 2012 will be bigger and better than ever before in the history of the event! Following the Great Commission theme for the third year, the worship aspect of discipleship will be the focus. With the theme, Great Commission Kids Worship Jesus, the focus in each of the five venues will focus on worship.
This weekend, April 20-22, Midwest Kidfest will convene in a new location, the Great Wolfe Lodge in Mason, Ohio! The weekend experience there has sold out. .Registration continues to be open for Carolina Kidfest, April 27-29, to be held at the Charlotte Renaissance Suites Hotel. Registration remains open for Smoky Mountain Kidfest, May 4-6, at the Gatlinburg Convention Center, the earlier site of Winterfest.
