Live It Out VBS is not just a theme; it's a call to action.

Live It Out VBS is for children completed Kindergarten–completed 5th grade (2024-2025 school year). It encourages children to actively live out their faith through their words and interactions with others. We're taking the spirit of camp - the camaraderie, the daily activities, the immersive nature - and applying it to our theme.

We combine the fun and adventure of camp life with meaningful Bible stories, fun worship songs, and engaging small group activities that teach kids how to love like Jesus.
