Vacation Bible School 2023
Save the Date for July 17-21
We are engaged in an epic battle for the hearts and minds of our youth. Every day, they’re bombarded with lies about who they are, who their Creator is, and where their salvation comes from. Thankfully, God has given his children armor to wear in this battle between truth and lies, light and darkness, good and evil. With Keepers of the Kingdom, our kids will learn how they can be part of God’s kingdom through salvation in his Son and will be equipped with the armor of God to become Keepers of the Kingdom who stand strong in today’s battle for truth. Help us fight this epic battle by registering to volunteer now. Student registration for Vacation Bible School will open in April 2023.
