2026 VBS

We are so excited for your child to attend Vacation Bible School!

This year’s theme is Rainforest Falls! 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.

At many summer programs, kids learn Bible stories and key takeaways—and that’s wonderful. But what if, this summer, they explored deeper?

What if they left not only knowing about God but truly knowing who God is and how that relates to their everyday lives?

• God is our creator. (You were made for a purpose!)
• God knows everything. (He understands your heart.)
• God is our safe place. (You can find comfort and peace.)
• God is love. (No matter what, you are loved!)
• God is forever. (You have the hope of heaven.)

Through these practical Bible truths, kids get to know their loving creator and comforter. That’s powerful! Transformation happens as kids encounter God’s character, not just his acts. We intentionally designed experiences to help kids understand God’s heart, giving them a starting point for a relationship, not with a distant deity, but with forever friend.
