Families in Mission
We believe that loving and serving others is an important part of discipleship. We show our love for God in how we love others. Therefore we seek opportunities to involve children in loving our neighbors through acts of service and justice.

There is something for all ages and skill sets to help with! This is a fun way to get kids excited about VBS!
A light lunch will be provided. (Build your own sliders, chips, dip, queso, fruit and veggies.) RSVP here!
