Revibrant Kids began with two friends who wanted something better for the kids in their lives.

Kristie and Amy were two Children's Directors, just ten miles apart in California—Kristie in Malibu and Amy in Pacific Palisades—both passionate about making Sunday School and children's discipleship fun, engaging, and deeply meaningful. Over lunch one day, they realized they shared the same frustration: why was teaching kids the Bible so cumbersome and lacking creativity? Why didn’t it follow the natural narrative of God’s story? Kristie had been writing lesson plans to fill this gap, and Amy eagerly began using them too. They became great friends, refining their ideas together.

As life got busy, they drifted apart, checking in occasionally. Kristie knew the curriculum needed a complete overhaul but felt unmotivated to tackle it alone. Then, one unexpected night, a visiting friend from India urged Kristie to reconnect with Amy—literally knocking on her door. Amy welcomed her with open arms, and by the end of the night, REViBRANt KiDS was born.

What started as a simple blueprint evolved into comprehensive experience guides for families, teachers, homeschool parents, and Sunday School leaders. The goal? To empower adults to help children build a firm spiritual foundation in a way that was immersive, relational, and transformational.

What they didn’t expect? That 90-year-olds and 9-year-olds would be learning side by side in a shared journey of faith. REViBRANt KiDS is unique—designed for K-5 children, but as it turns out, serving every child of God at any age.

We’re so glad you’re here. Our hope is that this journey equips you to not just know about Jesus, but to develop a relationship with Him that transforms your life.
