As we seek to engage our mission to know God, follow Jesus and to pursue God's purposes in the 
world, we are excited to introduce you to Kids Out Loud (KOL).
On Sunday mornings, during both worship services, Sunday School classes for 3 year olds through 5th take place over in the Life Center, on the South side of our campus.

Help is also needed for a lunch program which serve a small group of kids following VBS and for the VBS Friday night picnic. If you are unable to volunteer during the day for VBS due to work, we have items that we would like donated for crafts and snacks. These donations include large boxes of Goldfish crackers, pretzel rods and can of vanilla icing. A VBS volunteer brochure is available HERE.

- For the safety and health of children and volunteers.
- For good weather.
