VBS AT ST. PAUL'S
Dates | July 13 to 17, 2026
Time | 9:00 a.m. to 12 noon
Ages | 3 years old* to 4th grade
At Rainforest Falls VBS, children will play, explore, create, and learn about God's love and promises!
This summer, step through the mist into Rainforest Falls, overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees and colorful creatures. Beneath a canopy of chattering birds and howling monkeys, kids plunge into a life-long adventure, discovering the nature of God, and exploring what it means to be rooted in relationship with their creator, a safe place in life’s storms.
VBS at St. Paul's is filled with fun, friendship, music, amazing games, activities, snacks, and creatively-presented Bible lessons!
"Bless the Lord, all his works, in all places of his dominion. Bless the Lord, O my soul!" Psalm 103:22

We love our VBS volunteers!
You can make a difference! Enthusiastic volunteers make our VBS successful. If you can help some days, just one day, every day, or in advance, we'd love to hear from you! Childcare is available for on-site volunteers' children under three years old.
