Hey there, friend!
We, Ryan and Beth Frank, would personally love to invite you to join us at the KidzMatter Conference this year. Our theme is NEXT—the next right thing in your leadership, the next faithful step in your ministry, and the next generation God has placed in your care. We know how full your days are and how significant your calling is. That’s why we’ve created this conference to be more than just an event—it’s a gathering of children’s ministry leaders and teams who believe what we do matters deeply. For three powerful days, you’ll be encouraged, equipped, and reminded that you’re not alone in this mission. We truly believe this is the leading event for KidMin leaders, and it wouldn’t be the same without you. We hope you’ll pray about joining us—and we can’t wait to see what God does next.

CONFERENCE 2026 THEME:
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.
