We want to equip students to be every day disciples of Jesus in their everyday lives. This summer we’re going to host three community building events. This is the first one.

Vacation Bible School (VBS)
Monday, July 28 to Thursday,July 31 from 9:00am-11:30am
We partner with Crossview for this experience.
This year’s theme is “TRU North” At True North, kids discover that they can trust Jesus in a wild world! True North is filled with awesome Bible-learning experiences kids see, hear, and touch! Hands-on science experiments, team-building games, unforgettable Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life. (Since everything is hands-on, kids might get a little messy. Be sure to send them in play clothes and sturdy shoes.) Plus, we’ll help kids discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life—something we call God sightings. Get ready to hear that phrase a lot!
