We hope all our kids and their friends will join us July 26-31 from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. for our annual VBS!

Our theme this year is Twists & Turns, focusing on the Apostle Peter to show kids that following Jesus changes the game. It teaches that even when we stumble, with Jesus, it’s never “game over.”

Theme Verse: “Show me your ways, Lord, teach me your paths.” (Psalm 25:4)

Core Message: Kids learn that life is full of unexpected zigzags, but Jesus guides us through all the ups, downs, and game-changing moments.

Daily Bible Stories: The curriculum centers on the life of Peter, demonstrating that while we may take two steps forward and three steps back, Jesus is always trustworthy and forgiving:

  • Day 1: Jesus is Holy (Peter sees Jesus’ holiness in the miraculous catch of fish)
  • Day 2: Jesus is Trustworthy (Peter walks on water)
  • Day 3: Jesus is Forgiving (Peter’s denial and restoration)
  • Day 4: Jesus is Worthy (Peter obeys God rather than men)
  • Day 5: Jesus is the King (Peter proclaims Jesus as the promised King)
