(Check out our True North VBS 2025 recap video above)
Get ready for an unforgettable week at Illumination Station VBS, where kids will discover how God’s Word lights the way and learn how to shine His truth in their everyday lives. Through engaging activities, creative crafts, energetic worship, and meaningful Bible lessons, children will grow in faith, build lasting friendships, and learn what it means to follow Jesus with confidence and joy.
​
Illumination Station VBS is available for children who have completed kindergarten through 5th grade. Your child must be registered to participate. Registration is $10 per child. VBS will take place over four nights from Monday, June 15 through Thursday, June 18 from 6:30pm to 8:30pm. Doors open at 6:15pm for drop off, and children should be picked up promptly at 8:30pm. Each child must be dropped off by an adult on their 1st day unless that guardian is present as a registered volunteer.
​​
All participants (volunteers included) will receive a t-shirt that is to be worn each event day.​
​
​​​
Just as light is never meant to be hidden, we believe faith is meant to be lived out in community. Throughout the week, kids will experience exciting Bible adventures, games, music, snacks, and hands on moments designed to reinforce powerful Bible truths.
Each day and activity rotation centers around one clear Bible Point, helping kids understand how God’s Word guides them and how they can reflect His light wherever they go. This is more than just a fun summer experience, Illumination Station VBS is designed to help kids deepen their relationship with God and remember His truth long after the week is over.
Please refer to our frequently asked questions below to best prepare.
