vacation bible school
VBS means Summertime Fun! (For our kiddos AND volunteers!)
In 2025, we were thrilled to head "True North: Trusting Jesus in a Wild World" for our Vacation Bible School series.
It took place Monday, June 16 thru Friday, June 20. We started every day at 9:00 am and wrapped things up at noon.
The cost for the week was only $15 per child as we welcomed campers that were 3-years-old (as of September 1, 2024 and potty-trained) through 5th graders.
We will announce our plans for VBS in the summer of 2026 around the New Year. Stay tuned!
Questions, contact Emily Bankston.
