What's Backyard Kids Club?

A Backyard Kids Club is a low key, low tech mini Vacation Bible School held at a family’s home, neighborhood clubhouse or local park. Think of it as a local missions opportunity that combines Bible stories,  music,  crafts,  games and kids!

BKCs may be planned as 1-day, 2-day or 3-day event for a couple hours each day for a group of up to 20 kids. Our suggestion would be the 3-day option to allow deeper connections to be made. A small team of volunteers works together to create a fun, memorable gospel-focused time for kids while building relationships with their parents. We provide everything you need to make it happen!
 
Backyard Kids Clubs are mission-focused by allowing us to serve others by impacting our community as well as reach our world by engaging our local circles with the Gospel.
 
This year’s theme is Spark Studios – Created in Christ. Designed for God’s Purpose. Our theme verse is Ephesians 2:10 “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared ahead of time for us to do.”

The current available dates are July 10-12 6-8pm, but other dates can be scheduled
