Never been to VBS?
No worries, here’s the skinny about what happens each night.

Each kid will be assigned to a team based on the grade they will be going into in the fall. They will stay with their team and work together throughout the event.

The skit team brings each night’s Bible concept to life before our eyes. They help set the stage for the lesson and how it applies to real life. The skits are a popular favorite among the kids (and adults!).
Sing, dance, and worship with us! Our high-energy songs will get kids up on their feet and worshipping Jesus. Each song is packed with Bible truths that will stick with your child all summer.
Each day, children will dive into captivating Bible stories that bring the Scriptures to life. Our dynamic storytellers and interactive lessons will help them understand and apply these timeless truths.
No top of the line submarine is complete without a lab! Kids will have fun engaging in science experiments all while learning about our Creator.
Kids love games, period. Need we say more?
We know that learning and playing can work up an appetite! We'll provide delicious snacks each day to keep everyone energized and ready for the next adventure.

Shh, don’t tell anyone, but we kind of save the best for last. On the last night of VBS we will play a huge game of OMC, or Organized Mass Chaos. It involves water balloons, toilet paper and a whole lot of fun. You’ll want to come back out to enjoy the craziness and take lots of pictures.
Our VBS is open to all children who will be entering the 1st - 6th grade in the fall.
VBS is free of charge.
Your kids shouldn’t need anything except energy and excitement!
No! We offer VBS to our whole community! Everyone is invited!
