As they trek the tundra, they’ll discover how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Guiding them towards Jesus, True North VBS reveals that He is a faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North!
Kids will foster a deeper connection with our faithful friend, Jesus, while discovering the great Alaskan frontier. As kids trek through the tundra of Alaska and experience what it means to trust in Jesus, prepare for amazing faith connections to unfold!

Now That Faith Has Come
SCRIPTURE: Galatians 3: 23-29 (NRSVue)
Today, the surprise of Pentecost and the glory of Trinity Sunday propel us toward the season after Pentecost and the question of “What do we do now?”
The season after Pentecost calls us to listen, discern, and wrestle with how to live into the story of Christ’s birth, life, death, and resurrection in our daily lives as individuals and as a community.

We Were Made for This
SCRIPTURE: Jeremiah 18: 1-6, Galatians 5: 1, 13-16, 21b-25
Today we begin a new series that we hope will allow you to harken back to the days when a tub of Play-Doh could spark your imagination and all things felt possible! As we age, somehow the Play-Doh of our Lives gets cracked and dry and less malleable. We become suspicious of change as we start to believe that “the way things are” is the safest choice. But often “what is” starts to crumble and if we look closely at what the Creator set in motion, we find that change is actually the most constant part of life. Change is inevitable and actually necessary for animating our spirits as we find renewed purpose throughout life.
