Kinfire will run from Wednesday 13th to Saturday 16th August 2025
The Kinfire festival is for the whole church: every age, situation and ability, from all over Ireland - we are kin because of him. During the festival, we will gather together in worship, under God's word, to be equipped and encouraged to serve Jesus wherever he has placed us. Our passion is to be a festival that celebrates and serves the local church because it is God's chosen means for reaching the lost of this land. Each day will begin and end gathered together, but throughout the day, there will be seminars, games, excursions or just time to rest and enjoy time with others. Our schedule for 2025 is still to be confirmed but you can see our 2024 schedule here to get a better idea of what being at Kinfire looks like.
Kinfire 2024 will be held at Kilkenny College, Castlecomer Road, Seixeslough, Kilkenny, R95 CF61, Ireland

We want Christian parents to come with confidence that their children will be taught and engaged in an age-appropriate way! While the adults are at their seminars, the kids will be in their own age-specific programme, learning what it means for them to follow Jesus and live for him each day. You can find out more here.
