SHINE BRIGHT IN A DARK WORLD
You are invited to CSS 2026: Illumination Station for the brightest week of the year! While many people claim to know about Jesus, many are in the dark about who He really is. During CSS kids will explore all the ways light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals.
Illumination Station is based on John 8:12 and helps kids see clearly who Jesus is. Each day unpacks a powerful truth about Him, from being God's promised Son to the Savior who offers forgiveness. With engaging Bible stories, spotlight questions that address misconceptions about Jesus, and hands-on activities, kids will walk away knowing that Jesus is the Light they can follow forever.

Children’s Summer Special (CSS) is an annual children’s ministry hosted by Christian Fellowship Dubai, faithfully running for over three decades. What began as a small initiative has grown into a vibrant, highly anticipated program that now welcomes around 500 children each year, ranging from ages 5 to 17.
At its heart, CSS is more than just a holiday program—it is a space where children encounter Christ in meaningful, age-appropriate ways. Through engaging Bible lessons, worship, creative activities, games, and performances, children are not only taught the Word but are given the opportunity to experience it in a way that is both impactful and memorable. Year after year, we witness lives being touched, seeds of faith being planted, and young hearts being transformed.
Beyond the children, CSS is a powerful picture of unity within the wider Christian community. Each year, volunteers from over 80 different churches come together, setting aside denominational differences to serve with a shared purpose—to invest in the spiritual growth of the next generation. Their dedication, passion, and willingness to give their time and energy are what make CSS such a special and life-giving experience.
One of the greatest joys of CSS is seeing its lasting impact. Over the years, many children who once attended the camp have grown in their faith and maturity, and have chosen to return—not as participants, but as volunteers. This full-circle journey is a testament to the strong foundation CSS seeks to build, as well as the lasting community it fosters.
As CSS continues to grow, its mission remains the same: to create a safe, joyful, and Christ-centered environment where children can learn, grow, and build a strong foundation in their faith—while making memories that will stay with them for years to come.
