VBS

VBS 2026: Rainforest Falls  Exploring the Nature of God

June 1-5

8:30 AM – 12:00 PM

Step through the mist into a wildly wonderful adventure at Rainforest Falls VBS 2026! Beneath a canopy of towering trees and colorful creatures, kids will plunge into a lifelong journey of discovering who God is.

Through high-energy games, “sciency-fun” experiments, and immersive Bible stories, your children will learn what it means to be rooted in a relationship with God—their creator, protector, and safe place in every storm. Get ready to catch the rhythm of the rainforest and grow a faith that’s wild and deep!

VBS is open to all children who have completed Pre-K through 6th grade.

Registration opening soon!
