"Ready Set Faith”

“We are surrounded by a great cloud of witnesses…

Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us” Hebrews 12:1

August 4-7, 2025

We had another great VBS program this year! The children learned about different people from the Bible and the special characteristics that they displayed as God’s witnesses.

We had 70 children attend this year and served 525 meals to them and their families. With 71 volunteers working to make sure that everything went smoothly, working over 800 hours between the planning and the four-day event.

Our mission project this year was supporting Athletes in Action, a CRU ministry. We were able to collect $541.49 for Athletes in Action in Minneapolis and St. Cloud. Amanda Christianson Bagan spent Wednesday evening with us, helping with the outdoor recreation and telling the children about her ministry.

Praying you can join us in 2026!
