We place a high value on being relational, Biblically based, culturally relevant, safety conscious and fun!

Vacation Bible School
Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a week-long experience filled with incredible Bible-learning that children see, hear, touch, and even taste! Bible Point crafts, team-building games, cool Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the fun activities that help faith flow into real life. VBS is a hands-on experience, where leaders will help kids discover how to see God in everyday life. Your kids will also participate in a hands-on mission project called Operation Kid-to-Kid™ that involves millions of other children across the World! VBS is held each year at Concordia University during the month of July.
