This year, Kids Conference is going BIG.
Inspired by the story of David, this action-packed conference will help kids discover that God can use anyone who is willing to trust Him. From the fields to the battlefield, David’s journey shows us what it means to live with courage, faith, and confidence in God, no matter your size, age, or circumstance.
Across powerful sessions, worship, games, activities, and unforgettable moments, kids will learn that they were created to stand strong, trust God fully, and live boldly for Him.
Get ready for an epic adventure full of fun, faith, and fearless hearts.
Our team have an awesome weekend planned and are looking forward to taking care of your amazing kids, not only so you can relax and enjoy Freedom Conference 2026 - but also because they're also going to have their own incredible Kids Conference experience of their own!
