NEXT
THE NEXT RIGHT THING. FOR THE NEXT GENERATION.
The KidzMatter Conference 2026 is all about NEXT: The Next Right Thing. For the Next Generation.
In a world that moves fast and shifts constantly, children’s ministry leaders need clarity on what matters most—taking the next right step in faith, leadership, and ministry. This year’s theme will inspire and equip you to stop feeling overwhelmed by “everything” and instead focus on the “next thing” God is calling you to do.
Together, we’ll discover how small, faithful steps can shape a generation to know and follow Jesus.
Whether you’re new to KidMin or a seasoned leader, this conference is designed to encourage you, refresh you, and connect you with thousands of like-minded leaders who share your calling.
Through main stage sessions, practical breakouts, worship, networking, and unforgettable moments, you’ll leave with fresh vision, new tools, and a renewed passion to disciple kids and families. Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a movement that’s preparing the church for what’s next—because the next generation is worth it.
