Vacation Bible School 2026!
Illumination Station
Join us for VBS 2026 on July 20-24 from 9am-12:30pm for all CURRENT K-5th graders!
Kids will discover how Jesus is the Light of the World through hands-on fun, music, games, crafts, and Bible adventures.
This year, we're excited to offer a FULL preschool program for children ages 3-5 (potty-trained and not yet in kindergarten)! Parents who volunteer the full week of VBS receive FREE VBS for their children!
