Our VBS is free & open to any child in Kindergarten (entering in Fall) through 5th grade.
FAQ
What does a typical group look like?
What do groups talk about?
Our groups start off with some announcements, and generally include a little bit of worship and prayer before heading into group discussion.
How long do groups meet?
On a nightly basis, most groups meet for about an hour and a half. As far as long-term, some groups meet continually, while others meet for about 10 weeks.
What happens if I join a group but it doesn't work out?
You're free to try another group! Just because you join a group doesn't mean you're stuck with it forever.
Some groups discuss the sermon, some groups discuss the specific topic they are studying, and some groups just hang out and enjoy time together.
Is there childcare?
Some groups will handle child care within the group with the other members by rotating coverage or by pitching in to cover the weekly cost of a babysitter. Groups that are on the church campus on Wednesday nights have free childcare provided by the church. Sign your child up here.
