VBS 2023 Theme

Shine

This year we will be launching kids on a cosmic quest where they'll have a blast shining Jesus' light to the world. Through Jesus, we believe that kids can shine a light and be launched into a life of making a big impact on the world around them. Therefore, we believe that we should encourage kids to illuminate our world with the same hope that Jesus offers
