Kids Connection presents “My School!”

Every school is unique. “My School” is a NEW contest where Kids Connection will come to your school and film a story about the unique ministry at your school. It could be a grade school, a high school, a prep school, a Sunday school, an early childhood. All you have to do is send Kids Connection an email with your unique story idea!

Kids Connection is a video news magazine featuring interesting and spiritually uplifting stories about people, places, and programs around WELS. Its mission is to illustrate—through example and examination of Christian lives—the purpose, excitement, and joy of a living faith in Jesus Christ. Each episode encourages viewers to “Stay connected to Jesus.”

Implemented by the WELS Commission on Youth and Family Ministry, Kids Connection was born out of a desire from teachers and pastors who wanted a WELS Connection-style video with a message targeted to kids. Nine episodes are made each year, one for each month of the school year.

Producer Steve Boettcher says, “We want to connect Christian kids to other Christian kids, showing there are other schools like theirs and other Christians like them across the nation in WELS.” The goal, he explains, is to highlight young Christians as much as possible in the videos, including the high school-aged hosts of each episode.
