Description
Welcome, Explorers!!
Every day, we are bombarded with questions: Did God really create everything? Why do bad things happen? Was Noah’s ark real? Why do I need to be saved? Can I trust the Bible?
At this Vacation Bible School, we will explore the biblical answers to these questions as they set off on an epic adventure from Genesis to Revelation. Amid sloths, butterflies, river dolphins, and dart frogs, your children will sail along on a fun jungle cruise, stopping at seven ports of call. These ports are the 7 C’s of History: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation. Kids will discover how these events shape our world, and they will learn to reconnect the Bible to their everyday life.
Prepare to swing into fun as we head out on The Great Jungle Journey!
We will spend the first four days digging deep into God's Word with our fellow Explorers, and end our VBS on Saturday with a time of celebration, where we invite all our families and friends to join us to recapture and share all that we've learned.
Each child will receive a take-home bag filled with fun activities and souvenirs as well as a T-shirt and bandana for them to wear each day. There will also be lots of fun prizes given throughout the week for our daily Cool Contest winners. The days will be filled with worship, Bible lessons, group games, science activities, crafts, cooking activities (as the kids will get to participate in making their own snacks each day), and lots of outdoor fun or indoor gym time on those rainier days.
Our program is available for those entering JK to grade 6. Our days will be packed with activity and teaching, so for the younger ones in particular, we highly recommend putting your kids to bed early each night so that they can return to us the next day ready to learn more!
