A summer that forms them — not just entertains them.
The FIREBRAND Summer Bible School is a flagship annual discipleship initiative designed to intentionally establish children and teenagers in biblical truth during the summer holidays. More than a Bible camp, it is a structured discipleship journey that equips young people to know Christ, understand Scripture, develop a biblical worldview, and live out their faith confidently.
“
To raise a generation of children and teenagers rooted in Scripture, filled with the Holy Spirit, and equipped to influence their generation with biblical truth.
The Vision
The FIREBRAND Children & Teens Summer School seeks to
Establish foundational Christian doctrine
Build biblical identity and confidence in Christ
Cultivate spiritual disciplines (prayer, worship, Bible study)
Equip participants to hear and obey the Holy Spirit
Develop Christian character and Kingdom values
Strengthen discernment and biblical worldview
Encourage evangelism, leadership, and everyday discipleship
Partner with parents as primary disciple-makers
Welcome Note from PDDK
This year, we’re making an intentional shift from Biblical stories to Biblical worldview. From passive attendance to active participation. From a children’s introduction to a rigorous, transformative discipleship experience.
Our goal is simple but weighty: to help our children understand what we believe as Christians, and why. Not just Bible stories, but the doctrine of Christ, the beliefs that anchor us, the convictions we can defend in a world that grows more complex by the day.
We want to raise a generation that is grounded, articulate, and clear about their faith, able to see life through a scriptural lens, not just know Bible stories. This means building their confidence in the authority of Scripture, and introducing them to healthy spiritual disciplines that will shape them for life, not just for a season.
And in September, we bring it all together at the FIREBRAND Festival, not just a celebration, but a commissioning. A sending forth of young people established in what they believe and ready to live it.
Welcome to a richer, more rigorous discipleship experience.
From a moment to a foundation.
Most summer programs inspire for a week and fade. FIREBRAND is built for what lasts.
- From festivals alone to year-round discipleship.
- From inspiration to intentional spiritual formation
- From Bible stories to biblical worldview.
- From passive attendance to active participation.
- From short-term encounters to lifelong spiritual growth.
Three age groups, one mission.
Every child joins the group built for where they are, with teaching pitched right for their stage.

🔥 Getting Started
What is the FIREBRAND Kids and Teens Summer Bible School?+
A structured, three-week discipleship journey — not just a Bible camp — that helps children and teens know Christ, understand Scripture, and live out their faith with confidence. It culminates in a Commissioning Ceremony at the FIREBRAND Festival.
Is the Bible School virtual, physical, or hybrid?+
The Summer Bible School is fully virtual. The FIREBRAND Festival is hybrid.
What is the FIREBRAND Festival?+
A one-day capstone event featuring the Commissioning Ceremony, a final assessment, and breakout rooms.
Who can participate?+
Ages 6–18, split into three tracks:
- Explorers — ages 6–8
- Navigators — ages 9–12
- Catalysts — ages 13–18
What will my child learn?+
Six discipleship modules, one per lesson: The Gospel, The Holy Spirit, The Bible, Prayer & Worship, Identity & Holiness, and Kingdom Mission.
Who are the teachers and facilitators?+
Facilitators are equipped with standardized teaching guides, lesson plans, slides, discussion prompts, and assessment tools to ensure consistency across all classes.

Do I need to be a FIREBRAND member to participate?+
No — the Summer Bible School is open to everyone.
Is there a cost to join?+
No, participation is completely free.
What do we need to participate?+
A device with a stable internet connection, and the Zoom app installed and tested ahead of the Onboarding Session.

No special materials need to be purchased.
📅 Schedule & Attendance
What are the key dates?+
- Onboarding August 9, 2026
- Lessons August 10–21, 2026 (Mon / Wed / Fri)
- Closing session August 23, 2026
- FIREBRAND Festival September 5, 2026
How long does the program run for?+
About four weeks in total, from the Onboarding Session (Aug 9) through the FIREBRAND Festival (Sep 5), with the six core lessons delivered over two weeks (Aug 10–21).
What time do lessons run?+
Lessons start at 7pm WAT, three times a week (Monday, Wednesday, Friday), for two weeks.
What happens during the Onboarding and Closing sessions?+
Onboarding covers welcome and orientation. Closing is a wrap-up session with a final assessment ahead of the festival.
📚 Lessons & Learning
What does a typical lesson look like?+
The first 10–15 minutes begin with worship and prayer, the middle is the lesson itself, and the last 5–10 minutes are for assessment.
Will my child be graded or tested?+
There's a short assessment at the end of every lesson — it's there to reinforce learning, not to pressure your child.
What difference will I see in my child?+
Each lesson builds on a specific area of discipleship, so expect growing familiarity with that week's module — for example, clearer language around salvation and repentance after The Gospel module — plus visible application through the take-home Scripture memory and devotional work.
Growth is cumulative across the full six-module arc rather than dramatic after any single lesson.
👪 Parents & Guardians
Do I need to sit with my child during lessons?+
Yes for Explorers, and recommended for Navigators, at least for the first few sessions — mainly to help with navigating Zoom and staying engaged. Catalysts can generally manage independently.
What if I can't be there for every session?+
Try to at least get your child logged in and settled, then check in with them afterward about what they learned. Consistency matters more than being present for the full session every time.
How can I support my child outside of lesson time?+
Ask about that week's module, and support any Scripture memory or devotional work assigned between lessons.
💻 Technical Support
What platform is used?+
All lessons run on Zoom. Please install and test the app before the Onboarding Session on August 9.
