Illumination Station (see above) is our theme, and the goal is to shine a LIGHT on who Jesus REALLY is! While many people claim to know about Jesus, many are in the dark about who He really is. Some might see Jesus as just a person from history, a good man, or a wise teacher but He is much more than that.
At Illumination Station VBS, students will be challenged to answer Jesus' important question to His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" As they explore all the ways light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals, kids will discover that Jesus is the light who brings hope to a dark world.
Dates for VBS will be Sunday, May 31-Wednesday, June 3 from 6pm-8:30pm. We would love to have your student join us this year at VBS. Vacation Bible School will be open to Kindergarten-6th Grade students; students will be assigned to the class for the grade they just completed as of summer 2026.
