Happy 20th Birthday, KiDs Beach Club®! 🎉

This month, we’re overjoyed to celebrate 20 incredible years of KiDs Beach Club®! What started as a small dream to bring the Gospel into public schools has grown into a powerful movement that’s touched countless lives across the country and around the world. We are filled with gratitude for God’s faithfulness, the dedication of our team, and the unwavering support of our church partners and donors who have made this journey possible.


A Mission That Matters

Since 2006, KiDs Beach Club® has been focused on one mission: connecting kids to Christ and putting Bibles in their hands. Through after-school Bible clubs hosted in public schools, we’ve had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with thousands of preteens who may never have encountered the love of Jesus otherwise. Every child’s story and every Bible distributed is a testament to the life-changing power of God’s Word.


By the Numbers

  • 129,750 KiDs impacted through Beach Club®

  • 28,625 Volunteers who have given their time to lead Beach Clubs®

  • 10,507 Professions of Faith celebrated in Beach Club®

  • 81,397 Bibles distributed through Beach Club®


Highlights of the Journey

Over the past 20 years, we’ve seen incredible milestones:

  • Hundreds of Clubs: From a single club to hundreds across the country, we’ve partnered with churches to bring the light of Christ into schools and communities.

  • Countless Professions of Faith: Over 10,500 children have encountered Jesus as their Savior, forever changing the trajectory of their lives.

  • Bible Distribution Milestones: Thanks to the generosity of our donors, over 81,397 Bibles have been placed in the hands of children, equipping them to grow in God’s Word.


Looking Back and Moving Forward

As we celebrate this significant milestone, we’re reminded of the many stories that highlight the impact of KiDs Beach Club®. Stories like the child who shared Jesus with their whole family, leading them to faith. Or the church that launched a Beach Club and saw entire families begin attending worship services together. These stories fuel our passion and remind us why we do what we do.

While we look back with gratitude, we also look ahead with excitement. There are still countless children and families who need to hear the Gospel, and we’re committed to expanding our reach, launching new clubs, and making an eternal impact for God’s Kingdom.


Join Us in the Celebration!

We invite you to celebrate this milestone with us! Here are a few ways you can join in:

  • Pray: Thank God for His faithfulness over the past 20 years and ask for His continued guidance and provision as we move forward.

  • Give: Your donation helps us reach even more kids with the Gospel and provide them with their very own Bible.

Thank you for being part of this journey. Whether you’ve partnered with us as a church, volunteered at a Beach Club®, supported us through donations, or prayed faithfully for this ministry, you’ve played a vital role in making KiDs Beach Club® what it is today.

Here’s to the next 20 years of connecting kids to Christ, one Bible at a time!

KiDs Beach Club® Builds Promising Connections at Children’s Pastors Conference 2026

This month, Brian Broussard (Vice President of National Expansion), Tina Kimbro (Southeast Mobilization Coordinator), and Gricelda Wells (Serve Team Specialist), shared the mission of KiDs Beach Club® at the Children's Pastors Conference in Orlando, Florida. This annual gathering brings together children’s ministry leaders from across the nation to share ideas, learn from one another, and explore new ways to reach kids with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. For our team, it was the perfect platform to connect churches with their local communities through Beach Clubs®.

Sharing the Vision

Tina Kimbro, our Southeast Mobilization Coordinator, shared her excitement: “My spirit was moved with excitement as I interacted with so many young ministers, eager to gather new and innovative ideas for reaching their communities for Christ. I am excited to know that the future of Children’s Ministry is in such good and faithful hands, as God continues to kindle a deep desire in their hearts to take the Gospel to the hearing and hearts of children.”

During the conference, Tina and our team engaged in meaningful conversations with ministry leaders who were eager to make an eternal impact on the lives of kids in their communities. Many church leaders were amazed to learn that the opportunity to establish Bible clubs on school campuses existed. Tina recalled, “What a blessing it was to see their excitement in learning that God has prepared a way. KiDs Beach Club has a proven turn-key approach to helping them build a Great Commission bridge from their church to an elementary school of their choice in their community. We committed to do everything necessary to assist them in growing the Kingdom and growing their church through their Beach Club efforts.”

Expanding Promising Connections

Throughout the three-day event, our team connected with church leaders from a wide variety of denominations and sizes. These conversations were more than just introductions—they were the beginnings of promising partnerships with the potential to transform lives. Many leaders expressed immediate interest in launching Beach Clubs® in their communities, and others were inspired to explore how this ministry could serve as a bridge between their church and the children and families in their schools.

Looking Ahead

The connections made at CPC 2026 have energized our team and reaffirmed our mission. Each conversation represents a new opportunity for children to encounter the love of Jesus, and for churches to expand their impact through Beach Clubs®. As KiDs Beach Club® continues to grow across the country, we are committed to equipping, supporting, and walking alongside churches in their mission to reach children where they are.

Faith in Action: Louis Zamperini

Jan 27 11:08 AM

You may not immediately recognize the name Louis Zamperini, but you have likely heard of him. Louis was an outstanding runner, earning a spot on the U.S. Olympic Team in the 1936 Olympics (Berlin). Later, with World War II raging, he enlisted in the Army in 1941, but a plane he was in was shot down over the ocean near the Marshall Islands.
 
For 47 days, Louis drifted in the ocean on a life raft, fighting off sharks and eating any fish or birds he could catch. His rescue came at the hands of a Japanese warship, and he was taken prisoner of war and was gruesomely tortured for years.
 
When the war ended, Louis suffered from post-traumatic stress and terrible nightmares, falling into a deep depression and alcoholism. In 1949, even though he didn’t want to go, his wife took him to a Billy Graham crusade, where the message of Christ’s forgiveness gripped his heart and he gave his life to Jesus.
 
Experiencing God’s amazing forgiveness for himself, Louis went back to Japan and forgave the prison guards who mercilessly tortured him. He lived the remainder of his life as a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. Louis Zamperini’s life is chronicled in the book, and major motion picture, Unbroken.
 
Louis’ life of faith in action came later in his adult years. But KiDs Beach Club® knows that in today’s world, the best opportunity for someone to accept Jesus as their Forever Friend is in their pre-teen years.
 
As a KBC GEM (Gives Every Month), you can help empower our mission to reach children and their families with the good news of Jesus Christ by providing the stable, monthly support that enables lives to be changed forever.

A Beautiful Display of Generosity: How One Student Sparked a Wave of Giving

Nov 19 2:07 PM

What a beautiful display of generosity we witnessed this fall.

In October, Allison, a KiDs Beach Club® elementary student, felt a stirring in her heart to make a difference. She didn’t wait for a big opportunity. Instead, she used what she had and turned it into something meaningful. Allison decided to sell suckers at school and donate half of the proceeds to KiDs Beach Club®.

Later that month, we received her donation of $46, along with a powerful reminder that God often uses the smallest acts to spark the biggest impact. Her heart to give immediately inspired several of our staff members to match her gift, and since then, even more people have stepped forward to join in.

Allison’s generosity reflects exactly what happens every week in Beach Club®. Kids learn how to put their faith into action, live generously, and shine the light of Jesus wherever they go. We also want to celebrate her club leaders who model these values so faithfully. Their investment is helping children like Allison understand that they can make a difference right now, right where they are.

Stories like this remind us that generosity is contagious. When one child steps out in faith, others are encouraged to follow. When a volunteer pours into a student, that student pours into the world around them. This is the heart of KiDs Beach Club®.

If you would like to join in and match Allison’s gift, you can do so at kidsbeachclub.org/donate.

Thank you, Allison, for lighting the way and showing us what faith in action looks like!
