What is VBS?

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. This year's theme is Magnified! Magnified VBS will encourage kids to look closely at the details of God’s amazing world and magnify, or proclaim, the greatness of God. God made us, cares about us, loves us, forgives us, and is faithful to keep all His promises to us. We can praise God together! We were made to magnify God!

When is VBS?

​For summer 2025, VBS will be begin on Monday, June 9 and go through Friday, June 13. Each evening will start at 6pm end at 8pm. Our VBS Sunday celebration will also be held on the evening of Friday, June 13. Families and friends are invited to join us for a short program, highlighting the special moments from the week followed by ice cream and activities on the lawn.

Who can attend?

VBS is open to children age three though 5th grade. (Students 6th grade and older are encouraged to volunteer.) Advance registration is preferred however walk-ins are always welcome. You do not need to be Presbyterian or even Christian to attend. Registration is open after Easter for summer of 2025.  Click here to register.

Does it cost to go to VBS?

VBS at Covenant is always FREE for all to attend! 
If you would like to contribute here is our 2025 Amazon List.

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. We will have a parents' lounge available for you to sit and work in. 

Can I volunteer at VBS?

Absolutely! Volunteers are crucial to the success of our VBS week. To learn more about volunteering, email [email protected]. All volunteers will need to be vetted through our SafeChurch Policy before working with children at any of our programs.

We Would Love to Have You Visit Soon!
