This year, we're turning up the volume on worship

Shout Kids 2026 is about turning up the volume on what it truly means to worship God, from the inside out.

We were made for closeness with God. To know him, love him, and respond to him with our whole lives. This year, your kids will discover that worship is so much more than a song at church or a feeling in a room. It's a whole life offered back to the God who loves them completely.

This isn't about hype. It's about transformation. We'll have fun, worship loudly, and lean into powerful moments with God, all while helping your kids become the kind of worshippers the Father is truly looking for.

Let's turn it up.

Four truths your kids will discover

01

Worship is love

A heart response to how much God loves us.

02

Worship is intimacy

Drawing close to the God who already knows us completely.

03

Worship is obedience

Choosing God's way in the ordinary moments of every day.

04

Worship is praise

A powerful choice to make God bigger than our feelings and our circumstances.

Find the right programme for your kids

Four programmes shaped for different ages and stages. Use your discretion to pick the best fit based on your child's maturity, not just their age.

Ages 2–3

Ages 4–5

Ages 6–10

Ages 11–13

Please note: Shout Kids is only available to children whose parents or guardians are registered as full delegates for Shout 2026.

Important

What's new in 2026

All Shout Kids programmes now finish at 12:30pm, including Boom and Massive. This is a change from previous years.

We've made this change after listening to family feedback and reflecting on our team's experience. Aligning finish times across all programmes simplifies things for families and lets us better support our incredible volunteer teams.

The full Shout Kids experience remains: outings, tribal games, worship, and all the memorable moments. Simply within the updated programme times.

Please plan ahead for afternoon arrangements with your kids.

Check-in

A parent or guardian must accompany their child to check in before every session. Your child will get a name label to wear, and you'll get a matching security label. Keep that label safe, you'll need it at pick-up.

Spark Jnr, Spark Snr & Boom Check-in is inside Spark Arena
Massive Check-in is at Adina Auckland Britomart, a 2-minute walk from Spark Arena

Please arrive on time, especially for Boom and Massive. Kids who miss check-in can't board the bus.

Skip the queue with the Church Centre App

Download the Church Centre App and check your kids in from your phone before you arrive. On the day, scan the barcode at check-in and the stickers print automatically. Faster for everyone.

Check-out

Please collect your child within 15 minutes of each session ending.

At pick-up, you'll need to show the security label we gave you at check-in. If you've lost it, a member of our Kids Management team will need to verify your ID before releasing your child to you.

Keep those labels somewhere safe.

A few important things

If your child has allergies or any health conditions we should know about, please let us know in advance or at check-in on the first night.

We'll also ask you to confirm your emergency contact number when you sign in on Wednesday night. If your child needs you during a session, we want to be able to reach you fast.
