Join us July 6-10, 2026 (9am - 12 pm) as we step through the mist into Rainforest Falls VBS, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures.

They’ll explore what it means to be rooted in relationship with God, their creator, a safe place in life’s storms. Kids who have completed a year of PreK3 - 5th grade are welcome.
