How to Start a School Bible Club

A public school Bible club can be the most powerful way to reach one of the largest unreached people groups in America, according to Tim Carpenter, instructor for this “Jesus Wants to Go to School Training Course.” Over 35 million children are attending our elementary (primary) schools in the USA alone, and around the world, there are millions more, hungry and waiting for someone to give them the Gospel.

Our elementary schools are mission fields you drive by every day. They are within a mile of most of us. So instead of complaining about these kids, or the teachers, or get mad because they took down the Ten Commandments from the hallways, begin to look at them through the eyes of Jesus and see that leading After School PowerClubs is a golden opportunity to go directly into a ready-made harvest field of spiritually hungry children with the message of Christ. Jesus said the fields of the harvest are white just waiting for laborers to go in and take the harvest.

School PowerClubs Are the Only Church These Children Will Have

Kids in Ministry International has PowerClubs all over the world, where we minister to thousands of children in over 21 countries in churches, neighborhoods, villages, and parks. Mostly, these PowerClubs are the only church most of these children ever go to. That’s their church! That’s where they go to hear the Word and be discipled. That’s where they go to grow in their relationship with Jesus. So when you start a School PowerClub, you are actually planting a church of children!

While each nation has different laws and situations, surprisingly it is still possible to teach about God and the Bible in many nations using these special PowerClubs in government-sponsored schools. Is God calling you into this unique harvest field?

A public school Bible club called a School PowerClubs, allows you to teach these hungry and open children about salvation, how to hear God’s voice and be led by His Spirit, how to pray for their families and schools, fall in love with God’s word, and bring the supernatural power of God into our school children.

We have the perfect School Bible Club curriculums from Kids in Ministry International for you to use!

Our Goal is Not Getting Religion in Our Schools

We are not interested in getting religion in schools. We are not interested in getting the Ten Commandments hung up again in every school hallway. That’s not our goal. Our passion is to get Jesus in the schools by using a public school Bible club/PowerClub. We’re not interested in getting prayer back in schools—i.e. the mandatory, rote, prayer read-off-a-piece-of-paper type of prayer. But we want to get a spirit of prayer in the schools by teaching children how to pray real, grown-up world-shaking prayers when they learn their authority in Christ and the power in the name of Jesus.

When children know their God and know how to hear his voice, they become the carriers of Jesus and the gospel in their own schools. They become prayer warriors who know how to pray about the pressing issues in their classrooms. Children become empowered agents of the Kingdom of God themselves.

A Public School Bible PowerClub is Powerful!

In these inspiring but practical video workshops, we’ll show you an A-Z, step-by-step plan for launching a Power Club, i.e., a public school Bible club, in any school or community in America. (Other nations can take this same model and reach their school children also.)

The three core values, as taught in our PowerClub children’s ministry training, is 1) meat, 2) equipping, and 3) presence. Begin to picture your local school with the meat of the Word, the equipping of the little saints with the power of the supernatural gospel, and the presence of the Lord! We all know what happens when the presence of God enters a place. It can’t remain the same. When the light comes on, the darkness has to flee.

With School PowerClubs, we are not simply going in with simplistic Bible stories or traditional curricula used by many churches. Instead, we are going in with unique tried and tested teaching materials and God’s presence. This takes any children’s ministry, school, or church to the next level of spiritual growth and impact.

A Public School Bible Club/PowerClub is Legal!

The devil has lied to the church and said, “See? Those school doors are closed! You’ll just have to be satisfied to go in the Spirit.” But the truth is, the doors into our schools are open!

Leading a public school Bible club in our schools is legal, and anyone can do it! In these video sessions, we’ll answer all your questions about liability, legality, and building a team. If you have the heart of a kids evangelist, this workshop is for you!!! Tim details all the steps leaders need to take to make it happen.
