Kidz Konnect Hosts Nerf Lock-In at Jamestown First Assembly Jan. 30-31

Kidz Konnect at Jamestown First Assembly staged an overnight Nerf Lock-In that brought kindergarten through fifth-grade students together for games, meals and Nerf battles. The event ran from 6:30 p.m. Friday to 10:30 a.m. Saturday, Jan. 30-31, 2026, and carried a $10 participation fee.

The community calendar entry and a Jamestown Sun announcement listed the location as Jamestown First Assembly, 1720 8th Ave. SW, and described the event as “the Kidz Konnect Nerf Lockin.” The Jamestown Sun noted, “Kidz Konnect at Jamestown First Assembly is having its first big event of the year, the Kidz Konnect Nerf Lockin. It will be at Jamestown First Assembly on Jan. 30-31, from 6:30 p.m. Friday to 10:30 a.m. Saturday. Kids in kindergarten to fifth grade are welcome to for take part in this event of Nerf battles, food and games. The cost is $10 per child.”

Jamestown First Assembly’s website provides broader context for the church’s children’s ministry. The site describes Kidz Konnect as enthusiastic and instructional, saying, “Kidz Konnect is a fun and inviting environment where kids can have an interactive bible-based teaching!” Church materials also emphasize a casual atmosphere and a regular Sunday morning celebration service at 10:30 a.m.

One detail on the church’s website introduced location ambiguity: under a “KIDS ON THE MOVE” heading the site states, “We are moving it to Leopaldt Park. We start at 6:30 pm.” The note does not specify which program or date the change applies to, and the event listings and Jamestown Sun announcement continue to identify Jamestown First Assembly as the venue. Organizers provided a contact line for clarification: for more information call 701-252-4092 or email assembly@daktel.com.

The lock-in model — an overnight event combining supervised recreation and faith-based programming — is a staple of local youth engagement, offering families a staffed activity option and the church a way to connect with children outside regular Sunday services. For Jamestown First Assembly, the Nerf Lock-In served as a high-profile kickoff to Kidz Konnect’s calendar, drawing attention to the church’s nursery staffing, program format and family-oriented messaging.

What this means for local families is straightforward: Kid-focused events on evenings and weekends continue to be available in Stutsman County, often with modest fees and organized by faith-based groups.
