Vacation Bible School

DC CHURCH

Registration opens April 4th for Vacation Bible School 2026!  VBS at the Deep Creek Campus will take place June 22 - 26 from 9am - Noon.  The theme of this year's VBS is "Illumination Station."  At Illumination Station VBS, kids will be challenged to answer Jesus' important question to His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" As they explore all the ways light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals, kids will discover that Jesus is the light who brings hope to a dark world. Jesus spoke to them again: "I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life." John 8:12

 

Deep Creek:  June 22-26 from 9am-Noon
West Portsmouth:  July 27-31 from 9am-Noon
