About Us
Biblical Experiences is a non-profit initiative of The Family Word Centre that organizes festivals centered on Christian living. We organize two annual 3-day theme parks: Easter Wonder & A Night in Bethlehem. Our mission is to remind attendees of the Biblical foundations of our holidays and to give families a welcoming space to celebrate them with their eyes fixed on Christ.
The Family Word Centre, founded by Teacher Nneka in 2004, is a home for Bible-based activities aimed at reconnecting children, parents and adults to God through teachings, training, recreational and events and programs that are Christ-centered.
The Centre manages a weekly children Bible school, and a wide variety of children leadership and empowerment programs, training for parents, employees, and Sunday School teachers as well as recreational facilities including a Christian Spiritual Resort.
About Easter Wonder
The Easter Wonder Festival, initiated by the Family Word Centre, stands as a meaningful alternative for Christian children and families seeking to celebrate Easter with a profound focus on its authentic significance, untarnished by extraneous iconography and symbols.
There's no story in the Bible about a long-eared, cotton-tailed creature known as the Easter Bunny. Neither is there a passage about young children painting eggs or hunting for eggs. If you started with a 40 days Lent fast, then the Palm Sunday, the Holy Week, and his crucifixion, why would we end it with egg hunts and bunnies? We JUST SUCCESSFULLY confused the children. It is essential to conclude the journey with a celebration grounded in the solemnity of the Cross and the triumph of the empty tomb.
While the world may have commercialized Easter, associating it with unrelated artifacts, believers are called to maintain the purity of their celebration. The Easter Wonder Festival, a free and community-centric event, diligently places the symbols of the Cross and the empty tomb at the forefront. By doing so, it offers a joyous and family-friendly avenue for participants to revel in the true essence of Easter without succumbing to confusion or distraction.
About A Night in Bethlehem
Every December, the Family Word Centre sets aside the noise of the season to bring families back to where it all began: a small town, a crowded inn and a newborn King. A Night in Bethlehem is a chance to celebrate Christmas the way Scripture tells it.
Open the Gospels and you will find a weary couple travelling to Bethlehem, an inn with no room, shepherds keeping watch by night, and a baby laid in a manger. Sleigh bells, reindeer and stockings full of gifts never appear. Yet many children grow up knowing the man in the red suit far better than the Saviour in the manger. The Christmas story is wonder enough on its own, and our children deserve to hear it first.
Shops, screens and sales have a way of drowning out that story long before December arrives. A Night in Bethlehem gently pushes back. Free and open to the whole neighbourhood, it gathers families, churches and friends into the streets of a recreated Bethlehem, where the manger takes centre stage and the celebration stays rooted in Christ.
