Wycliffe Discovery Center
Thanks to people like you and other partners in the mission, Wycliffe Bible Translators USA helps communities around the world translate the Bible into their own languages. We’re also helping them engage God’s Word through literacy, trauma healing, music ministry, digital solutions and more.
The Wycliffe Discovery Center is an interactive experience for people of all ages. Whether you’re 5 or 75 years old, you’ll enjoy learning about people, languages and cultures all over the world. You’ll also come face to face with the staggering number of people who are still waiting for a single word of the Bible in their own language.
Hear amazing stories of how lives are being changed as God’s Word is made accessible to those who still need it, and find out how you can be a part of what God is doing all around the world through Bible translation.

Education Programs
Wycliffe offers education programs for students of all ages! Our programs run an average of two hours, and give students a hands-on learning experience they won't soon forget.
A-Z Worldwide Adventure is for elementary-aged students and showcases different languages, cultures and people from across the globe. Students will learn about the world, God's love for all people and the need for everyone to have the Bible in their own language through crafts, games, stories and activities.
Mission Encounter: The Challenge is for students middle-school through college. Students will delve into missions and Bible translation during this hands-on adventure by completing challenges that cover topics such as geography, culture, language and more. Students will expand their understanding of what God is doing around the world and how he has uniquely created them to be a part of his global mission.
We are now offering pre-scheduled weekly programs that are designed to help:
- Groups that have too few students for their own booking.
- Families who want to participate but perhaps aren’t part of a homeschool co-op or larger group.
- Anyone who wants to easily participate in a program!
All you have to do is view our upcoming program dates. Find one you like? Register your students and add it to your calendar! It’s as easy as that.
If you have a group of 20 or more students and would like to book a private program, please fill out our booking form.
Special Events
Wycliffe offers special events for families and students!
Youth Night
Looking for ways to engage your teens with activities that help them learn more about the world — all while having fun with their peers? Wycliffe's Youth Nights are a great place to start! Drop off your middle and high school students for a time of hanging out with their peers as they learn more about missions and most importantly, God's love for his people, no matter where they live or what language they speak.
Want to get your kids out of the house for a fun, short learning experience? Join us for story time as we read "Around the World with Kate & Mack: A look at languages from A-Z." Kids will explore the world with Kate and Mack, learning about languages, cultures and people. This time is ideal for kids ages 4 to 10.
We offer two reading times each month:
- First Tuesday of the month — 10:30-11 a.m.
- Third Friday of the month — 11-11:30 a.m.
Admission to the Wycliffe Discovery Center is free during Story Time, so come join us for our adventures and then explore the exhibits, visit the Village Shop or join us for lunch!
