We’re counting down to fun at Operation Space: A Close Encounter with God’s Word. In this galactic adventure like no other, kids learn how God reveals Himself through His world and His Word. Each day, we’ll learn more about our great Creator as we crisscross the cosmos, answering questions about space:

  • How did the universe begin?
  • Why are people searching for life in outer space?
  • Did meteorites kill the dinosaurs?
  • Is earth specially designed?
  • What’s the difference between astrology and astronomy?

We’ll also meet Him on the pages of the Bible as we have a close encounter with His Word:

  • How is the Bible unique?
  • Did the Bible just drop out of heaven?
  • What does “authority of Scripture” mean?
  • How can we avoid being “lost in space”?
  • How has the Bible impacted earth?

This fun adventure begins the minute kids walk through your doors, when they are transformed into cadets receiving BASIC Training at a space academy.

BASIC training

  • Book of Books: The Bible is uniquely God’s Word.
  • Absolute Authority: As the Word of the Creator, the Bible should be the foundation for our thinking in every area.
  • Salvation Story: The Bible tells us how we can spend eternity with our Creator. The cadets will learn how as they hear a clear presentation of the gospel.
  • Incredible Impact: From science to music to changed lives, the Bible has had an incredible impact on our world.
  • Cadet Challenge: Learn it! Love it! Live it! We need to read and study the Bible daily in order to learn more about our Creator and His commands.

The cadets’ first briefing of the day occurs at the Launch Site Opening Assembly, a high-energy gathering complete with wacky intros, lively songs, a missions moment, a space probe lesson, and prayer. It’s then off to rotate through four fun stations—Bible Briefing, Galactic Games, Stellar Snacks, and Cosmic Crafts. Finally, everyone meets together once again at the Launch Site Closing Assembly, where there’s more singing, contest results, and the highly anticipated daily drama.

Operation Space promises to be an out-of-this-world experience, so hold on to your seats as we fire the engines and prepare for launch!
