KiDs Beach Club is excited to announce that KiDs Beach Club TV has been honored by the 42nd Annual Telly Awards with Bronze wins in four different categories: Online General - Children, Online Craft - Writing, Online General - Religion/Spirituality, Online General - Not-for-profit & Fundraising.

"It's an incredible honor to be recognized by this prestigious organization," said KiDs Beach Club founder and President Jack Terrell. "It's amazing to think of the journey on which Father has taken KiDs Beach Club TV. It has gone from concept in a staff meeting to now being recognized on a national platform. God is good!"

“In the face of a year like no other, KiDs Beach Club has continued to defy the limitations of our new world, in continuing to create compelling and engaging work,” says Telly Awards Executive Director Sabrina Dridje. “This year’s submissions doubled down on what we already know about the industry. Creativity cannot be stopped. Collaboration will always prevail. New ideas and stories will always find a way to break through to an audience.” The full list of the 42nd Annual Telly Awards winners can be found at www.tellyawards.com/winners.

KiDs Beach Club TV started as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020 as our 10,000+ Beach Club students were forced to leave their schools for at-home learning. Beach Club at HOME! provided an online platform for these students to continue learning about Jesus, in their homes, for the remainder of the school year. Through the incredible generosity of GMI Commercial Contractors in Southlake, Texas, who sponsored season 1, Beach Club TV became a network quality show by moving to CRM Studios in Las Colinas. After seeing the show, executives of newly formed Christian TV entertainment network, PAX-TV added KiDs Beach Club TV to their lineup and is now airing episodes to millions around the world in five different languages.

KiDs Beach Club TV - Season 1 has been seen by thousands of children and features character education through the lens of scripture. It includes all the fun elements that kids experience in their after-school Bible club and is now available as a DVD set in the KBC Surf Shop

"While we remain prayerful that KiDs Beach Club will be able to fully return to all of our public schools in the fall, we are excited to be able to share the gospel with potentially millions of children through KiDs Beach Club TV," said Dr. Frank Banfill, KBC's Executive VP for Strategy and Organizational Growth. "Please pray with us that the episodes we are currently taping in Season 2 will have an even bigger impact for the Kingdom than Season 1 did."
