Vacation Bible School 2025

Our 2025 VBS is now open for registration!

All kids entering Pre K – 5th grade are invited to a week of learning how to love like Jesus!

In a world where words often fail to convey the depth of meaning we intend, actions become powerful language. This summer, St. John’s UCC invites your family to explore what it means to “Live It Out” by showing the love of Jesus through our everyday actions. It’s more than just a theme—it’s a call to action and a reminder that faith isn’t confined to church walls or Sunday mornings.

The theme verse, John 13:34, sets the tone for the week: “I give you a new command. Love one another. You must love one another, just as I have loved you. If you love one another, everyone will know you are my disciples.”

This verse challenges us to love others because that’s what we’re called to do as followers of Jesus. Living it out shows the world what faith looks like in action. This year’s VBS is designed to help kids—and the adults who lead them—embrace this transformative truth, equipping them to reflect Christ’s love in tangible ways. 

Get ready to make this summer unforgettable with our ‘Live It Out’ VBS!
