Vacation Bible School

Gold Rush: Discovering the Rock of Ages

Grab your bandana, dust off your boots, and get ready to mine for TRUE gold as we head to the Old West, June 14–18, in Gold Rush: Discovering the Rock of Ages. Choose from two sessions (9:15am–Noon or 6:15–9pm).

Registration

Walk-in registration is open for the morning and evening sessions on Monday. Tuesday through Friday, walk-in registration is welcome in the evening session.

Blaze the trail

As we blaze a trail into the heart of gold territory, we’ll uncover exciting Bible discoveries about Jesus, answering such questions as:

  • What did Jesus claim about Himself?
  • How is Jesus different than all others making claims?
  • How was Jesus’ birth and life unique?
  • How was Jesus’ death and resurrection unique?
  • How has Jesus impacted science, the arts, education, and so much more?

Each action-packed day begins at the opening Gold Rush Rally, a high-energy gathering complete with wacky intros, lively songs, a missions’ moment, the Nugget of Truth time, and prayer.

Four fun sites

  • Dig into God’s Word and uncover eternal truths at the Discovery Mine Bible Time.
  • Enjoy some Lip Smackin’ Snacks eating great Old West grub.
  • Create 24-Karat Crafts making keepsake treasures.
  • Experience Rip Roarin’ Recreation playing tons of fun games.

Finally, everyone gathers together once again for the closing Gold Rush Rally, where there’s more singing, contest results, and the highly anticipated daily drama—a zany comedy taking place in an Old West mining boom town.

Yes-sir-ee! VBS is teeming with truth and with treasure, so let’s dig in!
