Children have a place to learn, play and grow at AC2025

Ministry doesn’t have to be left to adult leaders alone. Children of all ages contribute to the community of faith and have the capacity to call out God’s work.

In that spirit, the Foundation is pleased to sponsor The Neighbor Way Camp for Kids, a family-friendly option during the 2025 Annual Conference in Lake Junaluska. Children will discover church is not only what happens in a building — but also in the streets of their own communities.

Session / Times (Drop-off and pick-up times are below):

The Neighbor Way framework is made possible by Collective Renewal Resource and adapted for children in consultation with Missional Collective. It integrates five key elements (looking, listening, discerning, learning, and bridging) as part of the disciple-making journey.

Please click here to register. Sixty spots are available on a first-come, first-served basis. The fee is $25 per child. There is an option to earmark your fee toward Zoe Empowers, supporting youth-led families in places of extreme poverty.
