Wave Hello to next summer’s VBS

The secret is out! Lifeway’s VBS for the summer of 2024 is …

Every day is an adventure at Breaker Rock Beach—from the morning waves crashing against the shore to evenings filled with bonfires and s’mores! Catch a glimpse of an orca leaping through the surf or watch happy sea lions playing among the rocks beneath magnificent pines. Race along the sand with your brightly colored kite, join friends to make the most amazing sandcastle, or gaze in wonder at the mysteries found in a glimmering tide pool. As the crowds come and go and the tides ebb and flow, Breaker Rock rises majestically from the ocean like a tower standing strong against the crashing waves. 

At Breaker Rock Beach, kids will learn to recognize the difference between what people may say is true and what God says is true. They’ll discover that, unlike the shifting sands of culture, God’s truth never changes! It stands strong like a towering rock—a beacon calling us to hold tight to it so we aren’t tossed about by every new crashing wave. At VBS, kids will learn that God does not want them to be conformed to this age, but to be transformed by the renewing of their minds so that they can discern what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God (Romans 12:2).
