Wake up those neurons, get those synapses flowing, and jump on the wavelength of God’s love!
#KidsConnect is the 2026 Vacation Bible School where children use their brain power as they connect with Jesus, family, and friends of all ages! As children learn and create together, they will find a place of belonging, relate to trusted adults, make new friends, and follow Jesus’ example of making room for all and loving one another. Each day includes worship and drama, Bible study, art and science explorations, brain-building challenges, and active games. Daily take-home activities encourage families to grow faith and build community with people of all ages. The #KidsConnect VBS Boxed Set comes with everything you need to implement an engaging, Bible-based VBS program, no matter your location, size, or budget. Let’s build a better world filled with the love and peace of God!
