Stay Tuned for more Info
VBS is back this year in July! Join us for an exciting week of games, activities, crafts, and growth together. We are excited to tell you that kids in Kindergarten to Grade 6 will be having its first in-person full day VBS since 2019! Pre-schoolers will have an online half day version that is equally as enjoyable.
MAKING WAVES
We think it’s possible for kids and volunteers to create a ripple effect that can impact the world around them in ways they will never forget. God dropped you onto this planet to do the same thing — to make waves. You’re designed to make positive change in the world. And the kids who show up in your ministry need to believe that about themselves, too.
