WHAT IS VBS 2026 ALL ABOUT?
Shining a Light on Who Jesus Really Is
Join Village Kids and Village Kids Jr. for Illumination Station VBS for the brightest week of the year at The Village Baptist Church!
While many people claim to know about Jesus, many are in the dark about who He really is. Some might see Jesus as just a person from history, a good man, or a wise teacher, but He is much more than that.
At Illumination Station VBS, kids will be challenged to answer Jesus' important question to His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" As they explore all the ways light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals, kids will discover that Jesus is the light who brings hope to a dark world.
Jesus spoke to them again: "I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life." John 8:12
We can't wait for this year's VBS and invite you to register now!
All are welcome to join us this summer for VBS, so grab your friends, classmates, neighbors to come together and experience the love, joy, and teachings of the Bible through VBS fun! Whether you are new to the community or have been here for years, we can't wait to invite you to be a part of what God is doing!
