Vacation Bible School

Soapstone VBS is for children ages 3 – 5th grade!

VBS 2027, July 19th – 22nd.

Join us for an On the Boardwalk adventure with God!
“On the Boardwalk: Where Friendship Starts With Jesus”where kids will be grounded in 1 John 4:7, the program features a fun, coastal setting while teaching children five essential Bible truths about building friendships and loving others.
The theme invites children, known as “Pier Pals,” to follow five friendship tickets left behind by the previous Boardwalk Manager. Each day highlights a different trait of Jesus’ love—such as kindness, faithfulness, and care—with the help of a silly, wing-flapping seagull puppet named Taffy.
