KBC CON 2025: Equipping and Transforming Your Ministry
At KiDs Beach Club®, we believe one moment can shift a child’s eternity and one day of equipping can transform your ministry. That’s why we’re thrilled to announce our very first KBC CON, happening Friday, August 16, 2025 in North Texas and around the country!
What is KBC CON?
KBC CON is a one-day conference designed for Beach Club® volunteers, church partners, and leaders who are passionate about reaching preteens with the Gospel. This powerful gathering will inspire, equip, and connect the people who make Beach Club ministry happen every week across the country.
Expect a day packed with:
- Keynote Speaker, CEO and Founder of KBC, Jack Terrell
- Breakout sessions that meet you where you are, whether you're new to KBC or a seasoned leader
- Powerful worship and prayer to center our hearts on Jesus
- Vision casting from the national KBC team
- Fun surprises and giveaways
Why Attend?
Because this isn’t just another training. This is a time to refuel, recharge, and remember why you said yes to kids’ ministry in the first place. You’ll walk away with fresh tools, new friends, and a renewed fire to reach children with the life-changing message of Jesus Christ.
Where is KBC CON?

Thank You for Fueling the Mission: Gear Up 2025 Recap
As the final hours of Gear Up 2025 came to a close, we were once again reminded of the power of faithful generosity. To every donor, church partner, and supporter who gave, we want to say a heartfelt thank you.
Because of you, lives are being transformed.
This summer, while classrooms are quiet, the work of KiDs Beach Club® continues with purpose. Your giving during the Gear Up campaign helps bridge the summer gap, ensuring we’re fully equipped to launch strong in the fall. From resourcing clubs to training volunteers and preparing the way for more kids to hear the Gospel, your support fuels it all.
We say it often, but it’s worth repeating: every gift makes an eternal difference. You’re not just helping us run a program, you’re helping kids meet Jesus, often for the very first time.
As we look ahead to a new school year, we’re more confident than ever that the harvest is ripe. Thank you for helping us get ready.
Together, we’re building faith. Together, we’re changing lives.
Thank you for gearing up with us!!

The Power of Determination: Rulon Gardner
Growing up as the youngest of nine children, little Rulon was put to work on the family’s dairy farm in Wyoming at a very young age. There he learned about the value of a hard day’s work and determination, which became ingrained into the fabric of his life. Due to a learning disability, school was a challenge, but his parents constantly told him that with prayer and persistence, he could find the strength to do anything.
Through hard work and focused determination, Rulon made the 2000 U.S. Olympic team as a Greco-Roman wrestler. There, he won bout after bout, ending up in the gold medal match. But a giant stood before him. Rulon would be wresting the three-time Olympic champion, Aleksandr Karelin. At the time, Karelin had not been defeated in an international wrestling competition for more than 13 years. In fact, no opponent had even scored a single point against him in a match for over six years!
But Rulon was unphased. With unbridled determination, he began to battle. At the end of the first (of two) periods, the score was 0-0. Then, early in the second period, Karelin made a mistake, costing him a point. Rulon refused to allow Karelin back in the match, and he won the gold medal 1-0. His determination made him a CHAMPION!
KBC understands the value of determination. Our vision is to give every preteen boy and girl a Jesus experience, and we are determined to do so. And our faithful ministry partners who support KBC with their monthly gifts are OUR champions!

From Club to Christ: A Child’s Faith Transforms a Family
At KiDs Beach Club®, we often plant seeds without knowing exactly when they will grow. Every once in a while, God allows us to witness the fruit of those seeds, and it is nothing short of amazing.
We recently received a powerful update from Norwood Elementary School's Beach Club® that reminds us how deeply God works through this ministry. Gabriel Laster started attending club a few years ago, not as an official clubber, but as a “Little.” At KiDs Beach Club®, we allow younger siblings to join if their older brother or sister is in third through fifth grade. Gabriel tagged along with his older brother, Hunter, and was fully engaged from the beginning.
Last year, as a second grader, Gabriel made a profession of faith in February. At the time, his family was not regularly attending church, but God was already stirring something new in their hearts.
As this school year began, several of our club kids had recently been baptized, and conversations about baptism naturally came up during club. Gabriel expressed that he wanted to be baptized as well and became very persistent about it. We reached out to his mom, who mentioned that the family was somewhat looking for a church home. Interestingly, Gabriel’s dad worked with the husband of one of the Kids Ministry leaders at First Baptist Church Burleson.
In family discussions, it was revealed that Gabriel’s dad had never been baptized either. They started attending FBC Burleson and connected with the Kids Ministry team. One of the leaders spoke with the family about baptism and began helping them take steps forward. Although their plans were delayed multiple times due to scheduling, God's timing was perfect.
This month, on Mother's Day, Gabriel’s dad was baptized by one of the pastors at FBC Burleson. Then, in a beautiful moment of faith, he turned around and baptized both of his sons, Hunter and Gabriel.
This video is a testimony of how God uses one small step of obedience to change an entire family.
Stories like this remind us that Beach Club® is about more than a weekly gathering. It is about eternity. From a younger sibling quietly attending club, to a bold young boy ready to follow Jesus, to a father leading his family into faith, this is the kind of transformation only God can bring.
We are grateful to be a small part of it.

Meet Carter Henning: A True Champion On and Off The Golf Course
In a small Iowa town this spring, there’s a young golfer you need to know about.
Carter Henning is a ninth grader at Calamus-Wheatland High School who loves to play golf. In fact, as a freshman he is ranked as the #1 golfer on his High School team. It’s an impressive accomplishment. But there’s more… much more!
You see, Carter lost part of his left leg in a snowmobile accident just three months ago. Such a debilitating injury would cause most people to just give up on a sport as challenging as golf, but not Carter! In a matter of weeks, he retrained his body to balance through his golf swing. Even after his injury/amputation, Carter has gotten better and better!
Carter is a CHAMPION because he didn’t let adversity rob him of the joy of playing the sport he so loves! He was DETERMINED to succeed.
At KiDs Beach Club®, we understand Carter’s determination and never-quit attitude. No matter what obstacles are in the way, KBC is determined to give every preteen boy and girl a Jesus experience.
And we rely upon you, OUR champions, who provide the resources KBC needs to make that vision a reality!
Donors who Give Every Month (GEMs) provide the backbone of support we need to share Jesus with countless children every year. Please join us as a ministry partner by signing up to give to KBC monthly.
Signing up to be a KBC GEM is easy and quick. Simply scan the QR code below or go to www.kidsbeachclub.org/donate today. Your monthly gift, no matter how small or large, will be a tremendous blessing to KBC.
