WHAT IS VACATION BIBLE SCHOOL?
VBS is a FREE 4 day event for kids heading into PreK - Grade 5. Every night, your child(ren) will have loads of fun, play unique games, worship together, hear Bible stories through creative skits, enjoy themed snacks and most importantly, learn about Jesus and His Word. As this happens, each grade will have friendly competition that creates space for them to work together and build friendships. During it all, our amazing leaders are there to disciple, lead and care for every child that attends. We believe that VBS is the perfect Summer event for every kid to experience God, find community and have an absolute blast. Register your kid(s) today for VBS Power Up at Thousand Hills Church!
