Adventure Awaits!
Bring your whole family out to explore friendship with God at True North VBS! We'll have awesome Bible-learning experiences kids see, hear, and touch. Sciency-fun experiments, team-building games, unforgettable Bible songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life. Plus, we'll help your whole family discover how to see evidence of God in everyday life - something we call God Sightings. Get ready to hear that phrase a lot!
​
While on-site registration will be available, registering your family ahead of time means less waiting when you arrive and helps us ensure we have all the materials we need for you to join in on the adventure! Thanks for helping us make this event as smooth and fun as possible.

True North VBS Details:
Here’s how it’s going to work:
-
Our True North VBS is a family-style experience. It's designed for the whole family to attend together - plus aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents, or friends you decide to invite with you! The point is for you to have a blast while having God-centered conversations together. So, rather than making groups of kids from different families, each family is a "group" with the parents or caregivers being the "group leader" (Don't worry. We give you all the tools you need to lead your kids.). It's part of how we want to equip you to disciple your family!
-
We've shorted our program to run from Monday through Thursday. That means you can keep your summer weekend travel plans and you won't miss our closing celebration!
-
Because we're inviting the whole family, we know that can get tricky with work schedules. So, we're serving dinner every night before VBS. Just let us know what meals you'd like to join us for when you register. There's no cost for dinner, but you can make a donation if you'd like. Or, if you'd rather eat at home, that's okay too!
-
True NVBS can be fun for preschoolers up through kids entering fifth grade. If you need nursery care for younger ones, let us know when you register so we can arrange for childcare.
-
Speaking of littles, for the first time this year, we're offering a preschool track to help some of our littlest ones (ages 2-4) have a great first experience at VBS. You can opt to have your preschooler join us for the opening celebration, the Bible story, then 20 minutes of just-for-littles activities before heading home with a snack by 6:45.
If you have any questions, let us know. We're happy to help!
Want to Help?
Want to help us make it a memorable week for the kids in our church and community? Here’s a few ways you can help:
-
Decorating Extravaganza: We'll be decorating the church building all day on Saturday, July 19. Food will be provided. Don't miss out on the fun!
-
Tear-Down Team: The end of VBS is always a bummer, but eventually we have to pack it all away. We're looking for extra hands to help us tear down decorations on Friday, July 25.
-
Picking Up Decorations: We've partnered with a few churches to share decorations. We'll need to pick them up from one of our partner churches when they're done using them.
-
Helping During SCUBA VBS: Want to help during the week of VBS? We have loads of opportunities to serve!
