What Does The 5/6 Do?
Each Sunday during the third service we hang out play some games, get to know each other, and talk about Scripture. We meet on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in the gym to have snacks and play creative, team-building games! The 5/6 meets on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. and Sunday mornings at 11:15 a.m.

Vacation Bible School 2025
July 21-25 | Village Church of Bartlett
Preschool – 6th grade students, join us for Magnified! our 2025 Vacation Bible School! Our amazing God is not only the Creator of all things, but He also cares about His creation, right down to the tiniest detail. The Bible tells us that people are the most significant part of that creation. God created you and knows every detail about you—right down to the design of your fingerprints and the number of hairs on your head. God cares about everything that happens to you. Magnified! 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!
