• What is Vacation Bible School?  Vacation Bible School – or V.B.S. – is a week-long event held during summer vacation for elementary school-aged children.  Participants hear bible stories, sing and move to inspirational songs, make and take home crafts, play recreational games, and learn through science experiments.
• Who can participate in VBS? Children in preschool through 6^th grade (last grade completed) may participate in the activities. (Preschoolers must be at least 5-years-old by December of the current year.) We welcome youths in 7^th grade or older to volunteer to help at VBS.
• When is VBS? VBS is held every summer for one week, Monday through Friday, from 5:30pm to 8:15pm.  This year VBS is August 2-6, 2010.
