LA KidMin presents · Creative Conference 2026

Watch a gift become a calling.

Two days for kids ages 6 to 12 to discover their God-given gifts, develop them with real coaching, and put them to work for the Kingdom. October 9 and 10, 2026 at Twin Lakes Campground in Woodworth.

You may know it as Fine Arts Kids. Same festival, same heart, new name.

Act 01The three movements

Discover. Develop. Deploy.

Three movements, straight from the festival's vision. Every service, breakout, and presentation moves a kid one step further along the line.

Discover

Sixty-one categories across seven divisions mean there is a lane for nearly every kid in your church: painters and puppeteers, drummers and poets, preachers and photographers. Seven doors, and at least one has their name on it.

    Every category, with Jr and Sr splits, is listed in full further down the page.

    Develop

    Every entry is heard by a panel of three qualified evaluators who write practical growth tips and encouragement on a feedback form the kids keep. The scoring celebrates progress: nothing is deducted for slips, they are simply noted for next year.

    Deploy

    The weekend closes with a Celebration Presentation. Then they take those gifts home and use them in the local church, which was the point all along.
