Our vision is to support, encourage and empower our districts in developing children's ministry leadership in the local church, and to equip leaders to train and disciple those who minister to children. All of our retreats and conferences are initiated, planned and hosted by districts. Training opportunities are individualized, meeting the particular needs of each district or region. Our goal is to provide the resources needed to assist our churches in providing successful, kingdom-building, effective children's ministries.

Jesus at Twelve, J12, is a ministry to tweens—those 8-12 years old. It was founded by Gregg Johnson, former National Youth Director, and comes from the the story in Luke 2 where Mary found Jesus at the age of 12 in the temple. It was there that Jesus spoke seven powerful words: “I Must be about My Father’s business.” That is the message that J12 is spreading to an entire generation of young people. J12 is committed to “reaching a generation before they need to be rescued.”
