WHY VBS?
Our VBS camp is a ministry designed to reach children 3 years old through 5th grade, leading them to know and respond to Jesus Christ. It is one of the greatest evangelistic weeks in the life of the church, and it is so much fun!!!
As you look for summer fun and activities, think about the potential lifelong impact that a week of Vacation Bible School has. It provides an "in your neighborhood" camp experience that focuses on Jesus, plus it's fun!
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Vacation Bible School Camp is fast approaching and we would love your help! This year's VBS camp dates are August 6-8th. Our program runs 9a - 11:30a. The theme for this year is "Shipwrecked, Rescued by Jesus". Whether you can give a day, or the whole week, we'd love to have you on the team. If you are willing or able to volunteer, please contact the church office. We thank you so much!!
