Children’s Ministry

Vacation Bible School

Every summer, Vacation Bible School (VBS) transforms the St. Paul’s campus into a religious theme park of fun and learning. It is a major event for children, teens and families, attracting almost as many volunteers as campers. Children and volunteers expand their  understanding of Bible stories through creative play–skits, songs, crafts, and games. A service project is connected to the themed activities. This past summer, after learning of the Apostle Paul’s imprisonment, children wrote notes of encouragement to those in prison today.

They also learned of Paul’s devotion to Christ and the sharing of the Good News… “let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us.” This scripture from Hebrews sparked many fun foot races and games for the children, during last year’s Olympic themed VBS week.

This summer (June 9-12, 2025), Come aboard! Feel the warm sunshine and cool sea breeze as we “Set Sail” on a new adventure. An ocean cruise is perfect for relaxing, having fun, and making new memories with the people you love. When we embark on a journey like this, we can trust the captain to lead us toward our destination — and we can trust God in the same way! On this 4-day voyage, kids will develop a deeper understanding of how to follow Jesus when they learn God shows us how to love others, gives us gifts to serve others, prepares us to share the good news, and loves spending time with us!
