Galilee Summer 2026

Vacation Bible School

Vacation Bible School

Are you ready for Snowball Mountain Challenge? That’s the theme of our upcoming Vacation Bible School.

Children will learn about faith and resilience through Bible stories about courage and hope, *cool*  games, art and science explorations, service opportunities, and worship.

VBS is the loudest and most fun week of the summer. We look forward to welcoming VBS campers for stories on how knowing and trusting God leads the way to peace, confidence, and  joy!
