If you're looking for a way to get your kids into the Bible every day, UCB Spark might be just the thing. Built by United Christian Broadcasters (UCB) — a UK-based Christian media charity with over 35 years of ministry — Spark is a free, video-based devotional app designed specifically for kids aged 10 to 12.^1 Each day brings a short Bible-based video exploring topics like identity, bullying, friendships, and dealing with anxious thoughts, followed by interactive activities: questions to reflect on, drag-and-drop Bible challenges, hidden verses to uncover, and prayers.^2
UCB is a registered UK charity (No. 299128) that operates two national DAB radio stations, publishes the widely-read "Word For Today" devotional, and runs the UCB Prayerline.^3 Spark's daily video devotionals are based on readings from the Word For Today, adapted for a younger audience by UK content creators.^1 The app was designed and developed by Amperative, a digital agency specializing in Christian organizations, with a focus on bold, Gen Alpha-friendly design and gamification features that encourage kids to return daily.^4
Parents will appreciate that UCB Spark prioritizes safety: it's completely ad-free, doesn't connect to social media, requires no sign-in, and collects no identifiable personal data.^1 The app is available on both iOS and Android, has been downloaded over 5,500 times across 30 countries, and features captioned videos for accessibility.^2 One App Store reviewer wrote: "I really like UCB Spark because the videos are very funny, and they tell you all about how much God loves you and how much he can help you through life!" Another said: "Finally, an app that will meet the needs of the next generation with the Word of God."^5
