Vacation Bible School
We can't wait for you to join us for a fun filled 4 days as kids explore what it means to have a friendship with God! Kids participate in memorable Bible-learning activities, sing catchy songs, play teamwork-building games, experience one-of-a-kind Bible adventures, and test out science-fun experiments that get imagination bubbling. Each day concludes with a Fin-tastic Finale that gets everyone involved in living what they’ve learned.
Join us each night starting at 5:30 pm with a meal provided by the church. Then, follow us on to adventure from 6:00 to 8:00 pm as we explore God’s Love!
The final night will be a potluck (every family to bring one dish to pass) and a small program to show parents, and anyone else that would like to attend, all that they have learned this week!
Kids are invited back June 8th to sing a quick song that morning during the service.
