Adventure Awaits in the Big Apple 2011!

Think about Times Square on New Years Eve, Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, or almost any hour of any day in New York City. Do you imagine masses of people strolling, rushing, walking, or running through their daily lives? Yet amid all the hustle and bustle of the Big Apple, the Creator of the Universe knows each and every person intimately. Not only does God know each person, His greatest desire is to connect each person with His Son, Jesus Christ.

In our world of instant connections and constant communications, what an awesome opportunity we have to help kids know that God wants them to encounter Jesus and experience a life-changing connection with Him. As we help kids to learn to believe, trust, and love God, they will be empowered to connect with others as they spread the good news about Jesus. The rest of their lives can be impacted by the connections made during VBS. It is a chance to connect kids and their families with Christians who care and with the local church, but most importantly, with the Savior of the world!

VBS Motto
Hear It! Believe It! Connect It!
