Equipping Leaders.
Discipling Generations.
Thriving together.
One generation will declare your works to the next and proclaim your mighty acts.
- Psalm 145:4 (CSB)
Thriving churches build communities where kids are known, loved, and discipled to follow Jesus. NWBC Kids Ministry joins God in His work by encouraging leaders and equipping churches across the Pacific Northwest to reach Generation Alpha and Generation Beta with the Gospel and disciple them as lifelong followers of Christ.

Our prayer is that the resources, relationships, and events shared here will encourage, inspire, and equip you and your ministry team to serve faithfully and effectively as you disciple the next generation.
Together, let's build relationships, equip leaders, and cultivate thriving churches where every child can know and follow Jesus.

Ministry Opportunity!
Church Planting Retreat
April 26-28, 2027 | Cannon Beach, OR
The Church Planting Retreat hosts planters and their families in Cannon Beach, Oregon annually in April, and the Kids Ministry team works with student leaders to provide a full-blown VBS for their kiddos and deep discipleship for teens! This time away is an opportunity for the children of pastors to make friends with others who understand the unique challenges and blessings that come with being a pastor's kid. Our desire is that each and every one of these children knows they are loved and not alone. Together they build friendships, grow in their faith, and have a blast! The number one comment we hear from families that have attended this event is "my kids are asking when we're going back".
We cannot provide this ministry without the amazing volunteers. Would you consider serving at the next Church Planter's Retreat? For more information and to apply to volunteer, please contact us.
Cost: $250 for lodging and food. In addition, volunteers bring all resources needed to lead the class they are assigned to.
