Come join us as we learn about being a good neighbor! Being a neighbor means more than being nearby ― it means seeing each other as images of the living God in our midst. In faith, we are invited to walk with, work with, and learn from one another in love, appreciating all the gifts our neighbors share with us and all the gifts we can share with them.

Volunteer Opportunities
We need a lot of people to make VBS a success! If you are ready to sign up, start here.
Here are some ways you can help:
Station Leaders (11th grade – Adult): You have the important job of teaching each group of children as they rotate through the stations. Each station shares the lesson in a different, unique way: experiencing a Bible story, doing a craft, playing games, eating a snack, or hearing about real kids who live out their faith in real life. The joy of this position is that you get to share God with the kids in your own specialized way.
Crew Leaders (7th grade – Adult): If you love kids, you can do this job! This is the perfect opportunity to really get to know the kids. You will have about 5 students and rotate through stations during the course of the morning where you’ll learn through bible stories, crafts, games, snacks and just have a lot of fun! And you won’t be alone, you’ll travel to your stations with 1-2 other crews.
Assistant Leaders (5 – 6th grade): You bring the excitement and energy to our VBS that helps the kids get excited about learning the Bible story for that day. You’ll be placed in a crew to help the crew leaders guide their kids from station to station. You’ll get to play with the kids and help them do the activities planned each day.
Large Group Leaders (7th – Adult): You get to bring the noise! You get to help us celebrate the Bible lesson and theme each day through skits and music.
