Kids' Konference-at-Sea

We love ministering to kids, and what better place is there for your kids... and us... than on a cruise through America's last frontier, Alaska.

Every day, the children receive ministry that changes their lives forever. As we get to know each other in the conference sessions, and build relationships, Holy Spirit comes and does incredible things.

Not only do we minister to them spiritually, but there are also fun times, games and activities which along with the ministry, keep them wanting to come back for more.

Our Children's Pastors' hearts are to see our children learn, experience, and enjoy the love of the Father, the Power of Holy Spirit, and the ministry of Jesus... and to give him away into everyday life.
