Imagine asking a group of kids, "If you could go ANYWHERE and do ANYTHING where would you go and what would you do?"
I'm sure you can guess some of the common answers...Disneyworld, The Beach, Walk on the Moon. What you probably never guess
is.... TO CHURCH! It's true! After just a few months in the Kidventure program, one little boy actually struggled with the decision
between a family trip to Disneyworld or staying with Grandma and Grandpa so he wouldn't have to miss church!
Why not? Why should learning about God be boring or dull? After all, Scripture tells us, "The joy of the Lord
Shall be our strength." kids really can enjoy learning about God.
So, we asked kids what they would most like to do or what they think they will never get to do. Then we used those activities to teach
the old message in frresh and exciting way. Our God is an Extreme God...Extreme in Love, Extreme in Grace, Extreme in Patience, and
Extreme in Passion for His Children to come to Him! So why not go EXTREME for Him???
Kidventure exists to create an environment where kids discover extreme love for God, His Word, Family,
World and are encouraged to develop their own unique and confident response to that love.
Stories of holding puppies, swimming in spaghetti, riding in a hot air balloon, and food fights all will be told by the group of kids and
volunteers from the church that piloted this program. But what is even more exciting than that, and more exciting than 300% growth
the group experienced in the first 6 months, is the way the kids could still tell you the points they learned, the scriptures they memorized,
and how to apply those scriptures to their lives many months later. The smile on their faces when they talked about God, the Church,
God's family and His world were the icing on the cake.
This kind of philosophy and curriculum can be adopted for any size church and any size budget wherever there are people who want
children'to know and love God in an Extremely Fun and Wonderful Way!
