Vacation Bible School
Made to Magnify God!
Magnified! VBS will encourage kids to look closely at the details of God’s amazing world and magnify, or proclaim, the greatness of God. God made us, cares about us, loves us, forgives us, and is faithful to keep all His promises to us. We can praise God together! We were made to magnify God!

Guides for Reopening Your Childhood Ministry
In our churches, we are making plans to resume children’s ministries and other functions. Use these resources and your city’s guidelines to re-open your childhood ministry in the best way possible!
E-Book: 10 Attributes of an Unshakeable Kids Ministry
Unshakable kids ministries understand that children’s ministry isn’t only about engaging kids, it is about partnering with families. To build strong ministries we need to actively equip parents and caregivers to have spiritual conversations with their own kids at home. To do this well, we need to invest in building relationships at the family level.

Three Pillars
1. Children need to hear about Jesus.
The free gift of forgiveness of sin is offered to all people. Children should be given an opportunity to respond. Without providing a time of response, children will not know appropriate ways for accepting Christ and misconceptions can easily develop.
2. Children must be taught Bible skills.
3. Children need opportunities to serve.
Our Childhood Ministry is committed to developing leaders who are passionate about reaching children and families for Christ. We strive to provide excellence in training and resources that the churches, pastors, ministers and teachers of Oklahoma can use effectively.
Reaching Kids

Now there’s an easy way to explain God’s plan for Salvation to children of all ages. Our tracts and counseling books are a must have for your children’s ministry.
