The Great Jungle Journey
An Epic Cruise from Genesis to Revelation

Every day, our kids are bombarded with questions: Did God really create everything? Why do bad things happen? Was Noah’s ark real? Why do I need to be saved? Can I trust the Bible? At this VBS, your kids will explore the biblical answers to these questions as they set off on an epic adventure from Genesis to Revelation. Amid sloths, butterflies, river dolphins, and dart frogs, your children will sail along on a fun jungle cruise, stopping at seven ports of call. These ports are the 7 C’s of History: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation. Kids will discover how these events shape our world, and they will learn to reconnect the Bible to their everyday life. Prepare to swing into fun as we head out on The Great Jungle Journey!

#forOrting
We care about the children and families in our community, and we want to be known as a church that is for our neighbors and for our community. Previously, through VBS, we were able to raise $1,200 for the Orting Food Bank as well as collect several pallets full of food and supplies that was then donated to the Orting Food Bank. 
 
We believe in giving back to our community, and our Vacation Bible School is just one way that we are #forOrting. 
 
Our VBS is a free event for everyone 5yrs old to 6th grade and we plan to keep it that way! We do have a competition offering all week long, as well as we encourage kids to bring certain items to earn points. The proceeds will again go back to our community.

What happens each night?

At VBS, we know that you have entrusted us with your kids for this short time and we want to make the most of the time that we have with them. Here is a brief look at what happens each night of VBS!

LESSON TIME
We believe that the Bible has the answers to life’s questions. Each night, we always take time to look into the Bible and see what God has to say to us.
CRAFT TIME
Craft time is always a favorite time for all the kids! A lot of time, thought, and preparation goes into this aspect of the night to produce an experience that the kids will enjoy and remember!
SNACK TIME
Snack time is a nice little break in the night to get refreshed and have some yummy treats. Each snack will have something to do with the theme each year so it’s a lot of fun!
GAME TIME
What would VBS be without some awesome games!? We take time each night to prepare and put on some super fun games to keep the kids engaged and to get their energy out. Game time is definitely a high light of the night!
CLOSING ASSEMBLY
We finish each night by everyone joining together in the main auditorium to see the daily drama. Each night’s drama builds on the previous night, so your kids need to come each day to experience the whole story!
Dear Parent,
I know I speak for all of our volunteers when I say how much of a privilege it is to have opportunities like VBS to impact and influence your kids. 
 
We know that during these days, we have been entrusted with your children. We love VBS and we love being able to get to know your kids throughout the week.
 
Your family is always welcome here at our church and we invite you to come visit us for one of our regular weekend services.
