Vacation Bible School (VBS) helps children explore Christian faith in a fun, engaging, age-appropriate way. It also offers parents and grandparents an opportunity to share this exploration with their children by volunteering during the week and participating in recommended at-home activities.

Registration is free. If you wish, you can make a free will donation. There is a space on the registration to do so.

No! You do not need to be a church member to enroll your child. No church background or experience is needed.  Every child is welcome just as they are. If you have any questions about the church or membership, don't hesitate to ask!
