This year's theme

The "I AM" Statements of Jesus

Throughout VBS, kids will discover who Jesus is through the powerful "I AM" statements in Scripture, with each lesson helping them see His care, His truth, and His invitation to follow Him.

These truths are simple enough for kids to remember and deep enough to shape the way they see Jesus long after summer is over.

I Am the Bread of Life

Jesus satisfies our deepest needs and invites us to trust Him.

I Am the Light of the World

Jesus brings hope, direction, and truth into our lives.

I Am the Door

Jesus is the way to life with God - open to everyone who comes to Him.

I Am the Good Shepherd

Jesus knows us, cares for us, and leads us with love.

I Am the True Vine

When we stay connected to Jesus, He grows fruit in our lives.

I Am the Way, the Truth, and the Life

Jesus is the only path to God - and the One we can build our lives on.
