WHAT A MESS!
What is Vacation Bible School (VBS)?
We’re so excited to invite your kids to join us for an unforgettable time of fun, friendship, and faith!
At VBS, children Kindergarten – 5th grade will be grouped by age and rotate through exciting stations led by caring leaders and volunteers. Each station is packed with activities like:
✨ Bible Time – learn about Jesus, the Son of God
🎮 Games – outdoor and indoor fun
🎨 Crafts – hands-on creativity
🎈 Bouncy House – tons of energy and laughter
🍽️ Bonus: A free dinner is served to start each night!
We believe every child matters deeply to Jesus, and we can’t wait to share His love in a way they’ll never forget. We hope your family can be part of it!
Registration is available now online! You can also sign up at the door on day one!
