What is Shine Kids?
Shine Kids aim to help children meet Jesus through the Bible and share Jesus with their friends.
The Shine Kids team want to provide primary school SU leaders and church children’s ministry leaders and volunteers with the resources to encourage children to meet Jesus and share Jesus with others in their schools.
​
The theme for Shine Kids 2026 is 'TRANSFORMED'.
​
​
This year, Shine Kids is running for four weeks in January/February 2026:
​
Week 1
Jesus can transform our everyday lives by inviting us to follow Him.
​
Week 2
Jesus can transform our lives from the inside out when we spend time with Him.
​
Week 3
Jesus values us no matter who we are or what we have done; we can trust Him to transform everyone.
​
Week 4
Jesus’ death and resurrection transform everything - sadness to joy and disappointment to hope.
​
​
How to use the programme?
Shine Kids is designed to be a missional outreach programme, encouraging children to share Jesus with their friends.
We want this programme to help children meet Jesus for themselves and be encouraged to share Jesus with their friends.
​
​
Why these dates?
As a team, we’d love to see schools and churches across our country be missional while, at the same time, praying and feeling connected to each other. Shine Kids will run in Term 2 (between January and Easter) but, we completely understand that your school or church calendar may not work around these dates, so please feel free to run it at a time that best suits you.
​
Our prayer for you as you use this programme is that you will, 'shine like stars as you hold firmly to the word of life.’ (Phil 2:15-16)
