Get ready to hit the slopes and learn that God is the source of our strength on June 7-11 at the Faith Lutheran Church Vacation Bible School, 10395 University Avenue in Clive.

Our Vacation Bible School, whose theme is Snowball Mountain Challenge, is open to all enthusiastic mountaineers who will be ascending into Pre-K to sixth grade. This event is free for everyone! Invite your young mountaineers’ neighbors, brothers and sisters and their friends to join in the trek to the top!

Our camp kicks off on the evening of Sunday, June 7 from 5:30 pm to 8:00 pm where the young Challengers are introduced to the theme for the week, meet their fellow Challengers and receive a brief introduction to the rotations.

As part of their journey, these Challengers will enjoy storytelling, snacks, science, art and games.  Pre-K and kindergarten climbers can choose to attend the session from 9:30 to 11:30 am in the mornings from June 8 to 11 OR with the pre-K to fifth grade climbers that will be meeting in the evening from 5:30 to 8 pm from June 8 to 11. Each evening during the Vacation Bible School, we’ll have a free-will offering meal for everyone at 5:00 pm.
