A place to learn about all things Kids Ministry.
The Kids Ministry Conference is a one-day gathering designed to reignite passion, refresh vision, and reimagine what’s possible in reaching the next generation with the gospel in your local church. This is more than an event—it’s a breath of fresh air for everyone who pours their heart into helping kids know and love Jesus. Whether you’re leading a large ministry, teaching a small Sunday school class, or volunteering once a month, this conference is designed to encourage, equip, and remind you why what you do truly matters. Join us on April 25, 2026 at Park Hill Baptist Church in North Little Rock from 10 AM - 3PM.
From Generation to Generation.
You’ll hear from keynote speakers who have been right where you are—people who understand the joys, challenges, and sacred moments of kids ministry. Their stories and insights will inspire you to keep going, even on the hard days, and help you see new ways to make faith come alive in the lives of children. Through main stage sessions, practical breakouts, worship, networking, and unforgettable moments, you’ll leave with fresh vision, new tools, and a renewed passion to disciple kids and families. Generation to Generation – it is worth it.
