What a fabulous time we had at Outback Rock VBS 2024! We ventured into the Australian outback where we learned that God’s love is monumental; if we hold fast to God and His truth, we can have unshakeable faith; and that God will never leave us nor forsake us!

Every station was equipped with enthusiastic and creative staff. We started each night with songs where we learned about worshiping a faithful God. From there, we moved in different directions from the game station, missions room, snack shack, arts and crafts, and the Bible adventure room. In each one of these stations, the Bible verse of the day was taught and reinforced in a variety of ways.

Every craft that was made had the verse of the day on it or with it and we learned how that craft helped to remind us of God’s love for us.

The games were so much fun, and helped the kids to move their bodies so that their minds could focus on the interesting stories they heard in the missions room.

When you entered the missions room, it felt like you were actually in the desert with a tent draped from the ceiling and camping gear set up inside.

The snack area was a great place for everyone to rest and refresh themselves before they went for an exciting Bible adventure.

The Bible adventure room was once again a great treat for everyone. Our Bible story teachers built a cave inside the classroom. When the kids entered, they walked through two giant pillars and were surrounded by realistic cave walls, stalactites, and bats. Every night a new story from the Bible was shared that showed the kids how big God’s love is for us, what it looks like to have unshakable faith, and that God will never leave us; in fact, He went to Calvary to save us! What an awesome God we serve!

We ended this year with a fabulous kid’s service on Saturday where our team brought it all together and gave an altar call where everyone had an opportunity to meet that very God they had learned about all week. 

A big thank you to everyone that helped with VBS this year from decorations, set-up, food, crew leaders, station leaders, and all of the helpers that were there during VBS! You were a great blessing and it could not have been done without you! We are looking forward to VBS 2025!
