KIDZ Church is the primary ministry of KIDZ Quest in the local church for training children in worship. Some of the goals of KIDZ Church are:

• Strives to bring children to Christian maturity by teaching the importance of and leading them in regular, meaningful worship
• Leads children to receive Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord
• Provides an opportunity for each child to participate in a complete worship setting geared to and for children
• Includes Scripture reading, tithes and offerings, singing, praying, and other meaningful acts of worship
• Helps children understand and participate in the ordinances of the church
• Helps children develop a deep sense of appreciation for God's Word and how God speaks to them personally

KIDZ Camps are excellent evangelistic tools for reaching kids in a non-threatening environment. All summer camps are sponsored by conference Church Education Ministries departments. Contact your conference CEM Director for applications or more information.

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is still an excellent short-term ministry outreach to reach kids in the surrounding community of the local church. It is:

• A compact, seasonal ministry providing an annual, concentrated Bible study course geared to various age levels
• Designed to teach God's Word, evangelize, and provide fellowship.

Junior Quest is part of the National Quest Program of Church Education Ministries. For more information see Youth Quest International or contact your conference CEM Director.
