Kids and Teen Program
The Kids and Teens Programs at the MACHE Convention are designed to engage, inspire, and connect students at every stage of development. While each program is tailored to specific age groups, both are built with the goal of helping young people grow in faith, character, and confidence through meaningful, hands-on experiences.
Students will enjoy a safe, structured environment filled with interactive activities, engaging lessons, and opportunities to connect with peers. From creative workshops and games to discussions about purpose and future pathways, both programs offer something memorable and impactful for every participant.
Kids Program
Kids Program: The Full Armor of God
Build it. Wear it. Live it.
The Full Armor of God kids program is a fun and interactive design, create, wear, and learn workshop based on Ephesians 6:10–20. Children will experience the Scriptures coming to life through age-appropriate teaching, arts and crafts, songs, and interactive games.
Held in a supervised and structured environment at the convention, this program allows kids to actively engage with biblical truths in a way that is both meaningful and exciting. Participants will leave encouraged, connected, and inspired, with a deeper understanding of faith in action.
Age Requirements
The Kids Program is designed for children ages 5–12. Participants should be comfortable in a group setting and able to engage in structured activities with peers.
Registration & Price
Advance registration is required to participate in the Kids Program. Onsite registration is not guaranteed, as space is limited to maintain a safe and engaging environment. The cost is $40 per child. Families can add the Kids Program during the convention registration process. We encourage early registration to secure your child’s spot.
Check-In & Pick-Up Details
Children must be checked in and picked up by a parent or guardian each day. Check-in will begin 30 minutes prior to the start of the program. For the safety of all participants, a secure check-in and pick-up process will be in place. Additional details and location information will be provided prior to the convention.
Please note: Parents must pick up their children during the lunch break each day. The Kids Program does not transport children to or from add-on workshops, and parents are responsible for all transitions outside of program hours.
