Registration Forms:

Group Form Cover Sheet (PDF format)
Individual Registration (PDF format)
**Every child and adult must fill out an individual registration form before attending - the group cover sheet is for children’s ministry leaders that are turning in all the forms at one time.

Safety and Security:

The Light Kids Conference maintains high standards for safety and security during the event. For the safety of the event, we ask that each church group have one adult for every 5 children. Our core Harvest Staff have all had back ground checks and DCFS checks. Each child and adult in the building during the day wears a wristband so that we know who is officially registered with the conference. Students ride back with whom they arrived. Local church host also implement their own local church rules such as keeping certain areas of the facilities locked up, etc.

Leadership:

Tim and Suzanne Price have been serving through Harvest Ministry Teams since it began in 1996. Tim graduated from McKendree College in 1994 and with an M. Div. from Asbury Seminary in 1998. In addition to serving with Harvest, Tim is also on staff as the Worship Design Pastor for Troy United Methodist Church in Troy, IL.
Suzanne graduted with a degree in elementary education from McKendree College in 1995. Before taking the role as business administrator for Harvest Ministry Teams, she was experienced as a teacher in the public schools, a pre-school director and the Director of Children’s Ministries for a local church.
The Harvest staff, a group of young adults who participate in summer ministry teams as well as take part in the school year conferences and events, are students in colleges around Illinois and the Mid-west.
