A three-night carnival-style experience where kids will laugh, play, grow in faith, and discover that Jesus welcomes them with open arms. 

A Summer Night They’ll Remember

There is something special about summer evenings,  the sound of kids laughing, the excitement of something new, and the joy of being surrounded by friends. At Summer Bash, those moments come to life.

For three nights, kids will step into a carnival-inspired experience filled with movement, games, challenges, music, laughter, and faith. From the moment they arrive, they will be invited into a space where they can have fun, feel welcomed, and hear a message that matters: Jesus loves children, welcomes children, and invites them close.

Summer Bash is a place for kids to belong, be celebrated, and discover that faith can be joyful, exciting, and personal!

The Heart Behind Summer Bash

Summer Bash is centered around Matthew 19:14, where Jesus says to let the children come to Him. That simple invitation is the heart of everything happening during these three nights.

Through games, teaching, activities, and connection, kids will be reminded that they are not overlooked. They are seen. They are loved. They are welcomed by Jesus.

Every carnival challenge, every cheer, and every moment of fun points back to this truth: there is a place for every child in the Kingdom of God.
Whether your child is the first one to jump into a game or someone who likes to take it all in before joining the fun, Summer Bash is designed to help every child feel included, encouraged, and excited to participate.
