2026 Vacation Bible School (VBS)
July 13 - 17
Help your kids explore the true nature of God this summer!
Step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a lifelong adventure of discovering the nature of God. They’ll explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life’s storms.

FUNDRAISERS
There are two special ways we hope to support both kids in our own community and around the world this summer at VBS.
- Mason Strong Village - support for pediatric oncology patients and families. On Friday, 7/17, the kids will make cards and pack comfort bags for children battling cancer at Children's Hospitals. We invite your child to bring a new Squishmallow, Barbie, or Lego Set to pack a joy bag. Here is a link to suggested items, but you are not limited to this list!
- Life Impact International - working to break the chains of child trafficking and exploitation in Thailand and Brazil. We aim to raise $2,000+ in one week(!) which will provide two meals a day for one month to at-risk children at the prevention center in Brazil. On Thursday, 7/16, Lana Vasquez, the founder of Life Impact, will be here to share her heart! All grown-ups are invited to hear what God is doing to rescue children in the darkest parts of the world. We invite kids to bring whatever donations they can to help meet this goal.
