Thank you to this amazing congregation! Your dedication helped create a fun, safe, and meaningful experience for every child, and we are deeply grateful for your servant hearts!

The music at VBS is one of the highlights of the week! Kids enjoyed exciting songs, engaging motions, and meaningful lyrics that reinforced each day's Bible lesson. You can find all of our original songs on our Peace YouTube Page.
There is a place for you here.
