Keepers of the Kingdom: Standing Strong in Today's Battle for Truth
June 18-23, 6:30-8:30 PM. Ages 3 - 6th grade.
PREPARING CHILDREN TO SURVIVE IN TODAY'S WORLD
We are engaged in an epic battle for the hearts and minds of our youth. Every day, they're bombarded with lies about who they are, who their Creator is, and where their salvation comes from. Thankfully, God has given his children armor to wear in this battle between truth and lies, light and darkness, good and evil.
With this VBS, your kids will learn how they can be part of God’s kingdom through salvation in his Son and will be equipped with the armor of God to become Keepers of the Kingdom who stand strong in today’s battle for truth.
