We're pumped to kick off summer with Vacation Bible School at FFC!

At Emerald Crossing VBS, kids will journey through Ireland while exploring Psalm 23 and learning how the Good Shepherd leads us from fear to faith and from worry to peace. Get your passport ready and join the adventure!

Have a question?
We're here to help! Contact Kids Ministry Lead Ethan Woodward with any questions related to VBS.
There are many opportunities for our entire church to be part of this fun-filled week!
Church family, join us in prayer now that kids will hear the gospel and respond! Like every year at VBS, we want you to help us make it happen. You can sign up to volunteer in three different ways:
1. Volunteer during VBS week with elementary children, be part of our preschool VBS, or spend time with our littles in the nursery while their parents are serving.
2. Greet children and families each night and help direct visitors in the right direction.
3. Join the decorating and set-up team. No special artistic skills required! There are a variety of ways and times you can help the team leading up to VBS.
We offer childcare and a preschool VBS program for the children of our volunteers.
In addition to these formal serving avenues, make sure you watch for our donation wall the middle of May and help by donating supplies needed for the week. And as we like to say, you never know what God might do with an invite!
