Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School (or VBS as we like to call it!) is an opportunity for kids to gather together and learn about the love of Jesus Christ in a fun and exciting environment. Each VBS session has an engaging theme that combines lessons together with science, crafts, music, recreation, drama, food and fellowship.
When is VBS?
VBS is typically offered in June or July for a series of five evenings, usually Sunday through Thursday. Our programming culminates the following Sunday (known as "VBS Sunday") with the kids leading worship. After the service, families are invited to stay for a cookout and activities on the lawn.
For summer 2023, VBS will be begin on Sunday, June 11 and go through Thursday, June 15. Each evening will start at 6pm end at 8pm. Our VBS Sunday celebration will be held on June 18.

Where does VBS take place?
All activities will take place at onsite (1025 28th Street, WDM) with most of the fun happening inside our church building. If weather permits, we love to play games on the church lawn and utilize the playground located on our property. When arriving for VBS, park in the east parking lot (entrance off Ashworth) and enter through the main sanctuary doors on the east side of the building.
Do parents stay?
Most parents do not stay for VBS but adults are always welcome. We understand if you and/or your child are more comfortable being at VBS together.
