Junior Challenge 2025
Junior Challenge (all ages)
Just like adults, kids also need to grow closer to Christ. This is one of the most important and rewarding parts of parenting—watching your children come to know and love their Maker. As Proverbs 22:6 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not depart from it.”
Children are a ministry, and The Junior Challenge is one way to intentionally invest in that calling. Through this challenge, kids will grow in their faith alongside a parent or guardian by:
- 40 miles in 40 days together—one mile at a time, one day at a time.
- entire book of John, following along with the same daily scripture as the adult challenge.
- kid-friendly faith challenges that put the Word into action—whether it’s sharing kindness at school, praying for a friend, or memorizing verses.
Each day is simple but powerful. Just one mile, one short reading, and one meaningful challenge to remind your child (and yourself!) to put Jesus first.
You can start the Junior Challenge at the same time as the adult challenge or begin when your child receives their medal in the mail. Either way, this is an opportunity to connect as a family and build daily habits that center on Christ.
