Vacation Bible School 2025

We are hosting our annual Vacation Bible School this June! This year’s theme is TRUE NORTH, an Alaskan wild adventure. Kids will trek the tundra where they will learn and play while exploring the Bible.

Registration Closed

We hope you will join us!

Children age three (must be potty-trained) through 5th grade (just completed) are invited for a week of in-person faith, fun and more! Staff and volunteers from Bethlehem Lutheran (BLC) and First Evangelical Lutheran Church (FELC) will lead stories, activities, songs, games, and this week of faith and relationship building. 

  • Drop off time is 9:00 – 9:15 a.m. and pick up time is from noon–12:15 p.m.*
  • Pre-registration is required as the number of participants will be limited to provide appropriate onsite safety and amount of materials.
  • Please make sure to bring a filled water bottle for each child; snacks will be provided.

There is no cost for our Vacation Bible School.
