This month, we’re overjoyed to celebrate 19 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 2005, 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

• 124,606 KiDs impacted through Beach Club^®
• 27,211 Volunteers who have given their time to lead Beach Clubs^®
• 10,194 Professions of Faith celebrated in Beach Club^®
• 78,223 Bibles distributed in Beach Club^®

Highlights of the Journey

Over the 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: Through Beach Clubs, far more than 10,000 children have come to know Jesus as their Savior, forever changing the trajectory of their lives.
• Bible Distribution Milestones: Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we’ve been able to give away over 78,223 KBC Study Bibles, equipping kids with the truth of 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 young girl who introduced Jesus to her entire family, leading them to make Jesus THEIR forever friend. 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’re also looking ahead with excitement. There are still so many 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.
