What to expect:
A day at VBS is jam-packed with fun! Things are different each day but one thing is for certain: Jesus shines in everything we do. Campers will be greeted at the door by volunteers who will direct them to the check-in table. On the first day, campers will get their crew assignments and t-shirts. They will then be guided to their crew by a volunteer. Crew leaders will greet kids and engage in discussion until our morning rally starts. During rally, we will preview our bible point and verse for the day through discussions, challenges, songs, skits, and prayer. Crews will then be released to explore Promise Land through rotations of games, crafts, KidVid, and Bible. After their tour, we will rally again to recap what we learned and prepare for the next day.
Every activity is designed with the gospel in mind, if kids leave knowing they are loved and wanted by Jesus then we have done our job!
VBS is open to any child potty trained through fifth grade!
