VBC KIDS covers the ages from infants through fifth graders. Sixth graders can also participate in our midweek Awana program and Born to Worship Kids Choir.
The mission for VBC KIDS is to help kids KNOW Jesus, GROW in Him, and SHOW His love to the world.
“Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.’” (Matthew 19:14)
"We will tell the next generation the praiseworthy deeds of the LORD, His power, and the wonders He has done." (Psalm 78:4)
This Ministry Offers
VBC BABIES (located in the Worship Center) is for new babies through 35 months. We love babies and want to see them grow up to love Jesus! We also love their mommies and have a MOTHER'S ROOM to nurse or just relax stocked with lots of goodies for you to enjoy! We are open every Sunday during the morning worship services, as well as for special church events as announced.
VBC KIDS JR. (located in the Family Life Center) is fun for tiny tikes 3-years old through Kindergarten. We want them to know and love Jesus too. We have games, creative play, activities, and stories geared especially for them on Sundays during 9:00 AM & 11:00 AM worship services.
VBC KIDS (KNOW • GROW • SHOW)
VBC KIDS SUNDAYS We want kids to KNOW Jesus! They will make new friends and have a blast with fun music, Bible adventures, games, and activities! (located in the Family Life Center for 1st through 5th graders during 9:00AM & 11:00AM Services) New guests can pre-register HERE!
VBC KIDS AWANA We want kids to GROW! Each leader invests in your kids to help build a lasting faith foundation through small groups, Bible memory, games, and more! The acronym AWANA comes from the first letters of Approved Workmen Are Not Ashamed (2 Timothy 2:15). Awana Club meets on Wednesdays from 6:45PM to 8:30PM September - May. (View the 2019 Calendar.) No need to sign up ahead of time, just come the first night, and we'll get you all set. Check out what AWANA is all about!
VBC KIDS CHOIR (BORN TO WORSHIP) We want kids to SHOW Jesus’ love to their world! Kids have an opportunity to show His love by developing the gifts God’s given them (singing, art, acting, playing instruments, dancing, hospitality, & craftsmanship, or as we like to call them, their worship gifts)
