Step into the roar of the crowd.
Feel the chill of the mountain air.
Hear the anthem rise.

CROWNED: Winter Games is a high-energy, Christ-centered Vacation Bible School experience where children train, compete, celebrate, and discover what it truly means to run the race of faith.
Inspired by the powerful imagery of Scripture and the thrill of the Winter Games, this dynamic 2026 VBS program brings together worship, Bible teaching, team-based challenges, crafts, science exploration, and reflection in one unforgettable village experience. At the heart of CROWNED are three guiding verses:
-
James 1:12 — The crown of life.
-
Hebrews 12:2 — The Champion and King
-
Revelation 3:11 — Hold fast to your crown.
Athletes don’t just hear these verses — they experience them. They will wrestle with questions that matter:
-
Will I persevere when things are hard? (Where do I turn when I feel like giving up?)
-
What does it mean to compete with integrity? (how should we live as disciples of Jesus?)
-
What kind of crown am I chasing? (how am I using my time and talents?)
-
When things go well truly deserves the glory?
Athletes will also learn about a man named Job, who really needed a word from God about his situation. Job's life experiences give courage to our young characters, Bruno, Mia and Arlo
At the Medal Plaza and at Victory Village Athletes will deep into the faith and discover the answers to the most essential questions about the Christian faith. Leaning entirely on the authority of Scripture daily lessons will inform them of the who, what, why, where, when and how
Who? Everyone. We are all called to follow and serve Jesus — and the One whom we serve is Jesus, our true Champion.
What? God lovingly calls us to be part of the family of faith - to be part of the Team. We are asked to persevere, hold on to our faith, run the race well, and continue obeying and serving with integrity.
Why? Because He loves us. He promises and delivers good gifts - love, joy, peace, faith, and ultimately - a Crown of Life to those who love Him — not a temporary reward, but eternal life in Christ.
How? On our own, obedience is hard. We cannot earn salvation. We fix our eyes on Jesus, the Champion who both initiates and perfects our faith. We make an effort, but we lean on grace. The redemptive work is already completed in Christ. It is by grace we are saved.
Where? In our daily lives, in our communities, in how we care for one another and for Creation, and forever with the Lord.
When? Today and every day. It is always the right time to commit ourselves to serving the Lord and fixing our eyes on Jesus.
Designed for churches of all sizes, CROWNED can be hosted as a two-day or three-day Scripture-rooted program. CROWNED equips churches to focus less on logistics—and more on what matters most: helping kids encounter Jesus in ways they’ll remember long after the games are over. Whether you begin with the free Core Edition or lead the full Pinnacle Edition experience, CROWNED equips churches to proclaim Christ as the true and eternal Champion.
Because in the end, there is a Crown for everyone who holds onto hope in Jesus.

How it plays out
Athletes form Teams and are represented by their team colors! Everyone starts at the Opening Ceremonies where they will have a chance to worship and be inspired by Missionary Stories at the Celebration of Nations.
Led by Captains (older kids are great for this!) teams rotate through each Event Venue. Choose as many or as few venues as you need to make your Winter Games a success!
At the end of each session, all the teams meet back at Victory Village for the Closing Ceremonies where music and the Word of God bring the lessons of the day home.
Missionary Moments: A Celebration of Nations
There are many wonderful missionary organizations, and we encourage you to consider your local missionaries first. Perhaps there is a family home on furlough, or your church is supporting a mission. You can also connect with your denomination to expand your missionary network. At Ana-Genesis, we are grateful for those who faithfully obey the Great Commission. If you are not connected locally, here are some videos you can share during the Celebration of Nations.
