- What We Do -

Good News Club

Bible lessons!  Songs!  Games!  Memory Verses!  Missionary stories and more!  One day each week for six weeks, elementary-aged children learn about God, His Son and His plan to save them.  Meeting in safe spaces, like schools, churches and community centers, they are taught by qualified adults and teens who love Jesus and are committed to the well-being of the children.

Christian Youth in Action

Training teens and young adults to lead summer Bible clubs for children in local neighborhoods.  Songs, games, Bible lessons, missionary stories and more teach children who Jesus is and why they need Him.

5-Day Club

One week, Monday through Friday, summer Bible clubs where local children hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ through exciting Bible lessons and missionary stories, games, songs and memory verses.  Led by trained CYIA teens and young adults.

Kids Blast

Special events where kids can have a blast playing in a bounce house, getting faces painted, choosing balloon animals and watching puppet shows.  We're able to meet and chat with parents and build bridges into the community to advance the Gospel of Christ.

Truth Chasers Club

Special Bible lessons sent directly to children by mail!  Keep them growing in their knowledge of God and the Christian life, even when other clubs are not in session.  We'll check their work and send encouragement back with each successive lesson.

Party Clubs

Not just for Christmas!  We have party club materials for all kinds of occasions, but especially Christmas.  These one-off clubs are great for introducing the Gospel to kids in any context.  They're also quick and easy to prepare.
"Then He said to His disciples, 'The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.'" -Matt 9:37-38
