Vacation Bible School Group Image

Vacation Bible School is a summertime week long camp held in the mornings on our church campus. This experience is an amazing opportunity to develop old and new friendships and to grow in Christ together.

VBS July 20-24, 2026

Reviewing Our 2025 Theme: True North - Trusting Jesus in a Wild world
At TRUE NORTH VBS, kids took the ultimate Alaskan adventure where the northern lights shone over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and sparkling glaciers. They trekked the tundra and discovered how easy it is to lose sight of what's true in our wild world today. Guiding them towards Jesus, True North VBS revealed that He is a faithful friend we can always trust. He's our True North! Together kids formed out-of-this-world faith for the journey as they explored God's goodness through skits, bible stories, songs, games, snacks and more.

Plus, we helped discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life with God Sightings along the way. Kids in 4th grade - 6th grade participated in hands-on mission projects throughout the week.

Mark Your Calendars for VBS 2026: July 20 - 24, 2026; 9AM - 12PM
