Head to the Pacific Northwest with us and journey to Breaker Rock Beach!
Kids will learn to look past the half-truths of the world to see the rock solid truth of God’s Word. There is a rock where we can build our lives and His name is Jesus Christ! We will discover how God’s truth never changes and that everyone needs Jesus. Adventure awaits as we explore tide pools, spot orcas, kites, and watch the mighty waves crash against the immovable Breaker Rock!
Be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
—Romans 12:2

Be sent on mission!
Let’s take the good news that we are learning and responding to during VBS and share it with others. In Alaska, there are remote villages without churches and without someone preaching the good news of Jesus. Your VBS missions offering will support the “Sponsor a Village” project through the Alaska Baptist Association. When we sponsor a remote village, we are enabling them to receive the livestream technology needed to participate in worship services.
It cost $1,500 to sponsor one village. Our challenge: how many villages can we sponsor? Let’s give generously!
Preschool kids can bring their VBS mission offering to their classrooms each day. First-sixth grade children will give their offering each day during the worship rally. Online giving will be available as well at fbcprattville.org/giving.
