Kids will rotate through stations- Stellar Bible Adventures, All Star Games, Galactic Snacks, Kid Vid Cinema and Imagination Station each night as they learn more about Jesus’ light. This year, our VBS program will run from Sunday, June 11 through Thursday, June 15, with a closing program on Friday, June 16.
Our Vacation Bible School is offered to children ages 3 years through 12th grade. Students in grades 7 through 12 will be separated from the children’s VBS program for more age-appropriate Bible studies and activities.
