Children’s Equipping Center Tracks
What happens at the CEC tracks?
A full Children’s Equipping Center is provided for children ages 1–12 . Children come with their families from all over the world and are equipped with the same message taught to the adults, but at an age-appropriate level.
We encourage children and parents to be equipped together during their time at IHOP–KC. Therefore, all CEC tracks are available for children whose parents or youth groups are registered and attending the conference.
Children’s Equipping Center tracks are available for all main sessions:
- The theme of each conference will be taught at a child’s comprehension level
- The purpose of each session is to train children in the understanding that they can be commissioned to walk in the things of God
Cost of the CEC tracks
There is a non-refundable $35 registration fee for the Childrens’ Equipping Center tracks per child.

Yes, the safety of your child is our top priority. Anyone who is involved in any capacity within CEC has gone through a rigorous application process, complete with reference calls and background checks.
What type of safety precautions does your team employ during the conference?
When you register, you (parents) and your child(ren) will each be given a wristband with a security number. In order to pick up a child, the parent and child must both show their wristbands to ensure the numbers match. During registration we have parents fill out a medical release form that allows us to know any special needs, allergies, etc. that your child might have. We also take your personal phone number in case we need to call you about your child during any of the sessions. One of our staff members will be at the registration table during each of the sessions to monitor who is going into each session. Anyone who is not a parent or has not been pre-approved will not be allowed into the CEC facility/room.
