KidzQuest

I’ve commanded you to be strong and brave. 
Don’t ever be afraid or discouraged! 
I am the Lord your God, and I will be there to help you wherever you go.  Joshua 1:9

KidzQuest, the annual children’s fall retreat sponsored by South Georgia’s Connectional Ministries is for students in 3rd-6th grades.

​This event typically sells out and brings so much energy (and noise!) to the grounds of Epworth By The Sea retreat center on St. Simons Island, GA. 500 children and adult leaders come together with dozens of other church groups, learning how to worship, study God's Word, and understand what a relationship with Jesus really means. Amidst beautiful coastal scenery, amazing adult leaders (that's you!) and time away from home gives these children an opportunity to experience Christ in brand new ways!  

2018 THEME & LEADERSHIP

​Forrest Davis mixes together the elements of fire, juggling clubs, knives and a unicycle or two. Using feats of balance, juggling and slight-of-hand, Forrest helps kids uncover truth in God’s Word that leaves a lasting impression.

Having interned under Keith Coast and Jesse Joyner, Forrest gleaned important lessons from these professionals, such as: mastering the five-ball pattern, setting one’s tongue on fire and how to bring God’s Word to life in an engaging way.

As a young protégé, Forrest started juggling and balancing at 12 years of age and quickly progressed. The son of a children’s pastor, he easily added a list of credentials, which includes camps, church ministry, talent shows, the Pennsylvania Renaissance Faire, youth groups and Upwards events.
