Magnified VBS 2025

Join us for Magnified VBS 2025. Discover the bigness of God in the smallest of things! Magnified VBS will encourage kids to look closely at the details of God’s amazing world and magnify, or proclaim, the greatness of God. God made us, cares about us, loves us, forgives us, and is faithful to keep all His promises to us. We can praise God together! We were made to magnify God! VBS is July 21-25, 2025.

WHAT: VBS – Kids rotate through stations (worship, Bible, crafts, games, missions and snack)
