VBS

Vacation Bible Summer!

We are thrilled to announce an exciting new format for Vacation Bible School (VBS)! This summer, we’re transforming VBS into Vacation Bible Summer, extending the fun and learning over a five-week period on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings beginning Sunday, July 9.

Our goal is to make VBS more accessible to our community and church members, accommodating a variety of schedules and ensuring everyone has the opportunity to participate.

Vacation Bible Summer promises to be an unforgettable experience with crafts, recreational games, science experiments, dress-up “spirit” days, themed snacks, and great music. Your children will have a blast while learning about our Heavenly Father.

Registration for Vacation Bible Summer is free and will open soon. Once it is open, you’ll be able to register here. Please make sure to register your children to help us plan for supplies and snacks.

VBS Details:

• Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings beginning Sunday, July 9
• 5-weeks
• Registration is free
• You do not need to commit to every gathering to participate

If you’re passionate about helping kids and would like to volunteer, we’d love to have you! You can register to volunteer here. There are plenty of ways to get involved, from working directly with the children to offering support through prayer, donations, administrative help, or decorating spaces. We need all the help we can get to ensure our BC Kids and community feel well-loved and supported!

VBS Celebration

Save the date for our VBS Celebration on Sunday, August 13, where we invite all VBS participants to join our One United Service and showcase the new songs they’ve learned during Vacation Bible Summer.
