Vacation Bible School 2025 was Amazing!  

We had nearly 400 children and over 150 volunteers on campus magnifying the bigness of God in the smallest of things. The children learned about how God sees them, cares about them, loves them, forgives them and how He keeps His promises. We had incredible missionary speakers who shared about where they serve, who they serve, and the various experiences they’ve had with sharing the gospel around the world. Our mission project this year was to raise money to have 1 and 2 Thessalonians translated for the Arbore people group in Ethiopia. Our goal was $5,000 but families went above and beyond to raise over $7,111!   We are so thankful for all the amazing volunteers who gave of their time to serve at VBS!  The Lord was gracious and faithful to provide a smooth and joyful week as we shared our love for Jesus. 

Our VBS Experience 

“It was a joy to serve at VBS this year. What a special opportunity to be part of Taylors Children — sharing the love of Jesus with children in our community and helping plant seeds of faith. Through this summer’s theme of magnifying God, we encouraged children to look closely and discover His presence in all things and magnify the greatness of God. 

VBS offers a unique opportunity to share the love of Christ not only with children, but also with their families, extending the reach of our church and the message of the Gospel beyond our walls. It was incredible to see God at work in the children during Bible story time and worship, where their joy and curiosity were truly evident. 

Serving at VBS also reminded us that God works in our hearts as volunteers, too. As we planted and watered seeds of faith, we were reminded that it is “God who gives the growth” (1 Corinthians 3:6). It was a blessing to grow spiritually through sharing the Gospel and a wonderful way to glorify God through our time and gifts.”
