“Whenever I’m afraid, I put my trust in You.” Psalm 56:3

Every year we host a week-long journey exploring God’s word through song, story, mission, craft, and science.

Age 3 through and including those entering 6th grade. From 5:15 to 5:45 PM we typically also have a free light supper in the social hall before VBS starts at 6pm and goes until 8:15pm. Parents must be present until 6pm.

Volunteer’s are welcome and we offer Student Service Hours. Register to be a youth volunteer.

Surrounded by water, trees, and rolling hills, Camp Firelight is the perfect location for every Camper’s favorite summer activities! During each assembly session, Campers join first-time camp counselor Terry and Lu (short for Lumen), the lightning bug puppet, and learn to face their fears while trusting in God. Each day, Campers see Counselor Terry face new challenges, from as simple as leading Campers on a hike to as intimidating as meeting a new and wise nature expert.

As kids (called Campers) experience these stories through music, storytelling, and arts and crafts, they’ll learn that Campers can Trust God to Go with us, Lead the way, Share wisdom, Give us peace, and Spark Joy!

Registration for Vacation Bible School.
