Are you ready to help solve the mystery?
Each day at ON THE CASE VBS, your child will go on an adventurous 4-day journey where they become the agents to solve the mystery of how to grow their faith, how to care for, serve, and love others. They might just discover that the answers have been there all along!
Children will start each night
with undercover excitement at “Headquarters,” then rotate through “The Drawing Board”, “Forensics”, and “Clue Cafe” before returning to “Headquarters” to close out each night.
Each motive station is jam-packed with exciting activities that reinforce the Big Idea of the day. So expect to see your children go on an intriguing pursuit and solve the case more and more as the week goes on! Now that sounds like a mystifying VBS adventure!!

We believe children should come to have fun at VBS, but we expect children to be respectful by
following directions, participating, not being mean & staying with their group at all times. If your
child receives more than three reminders of the rules, parents will be called to come pick up
your child for that night.
At On The Case VBS, your child will receive a take-home sheet nightly that reviews the Bible
Story we learned about, the Big Idea of the day, & the Missing Piece Memory verse.
Here at On The Case VBS, we have found it’s better to divide children into age groups as it
helps them to understand on their level.
At VBS, we aim to have fun learning about God in different ways. If your child would like to
participate, we will have a nightly mission offering. They can bring along someone else to join
them in the mysteries of each night! But most of all they just need a heart ready and open to
hear the WORD!
We close out the week with a VBS Sunday that ALL families are invited to attend. This is a time
to dig into what your child(ren) have learned throughout our investigation for the time together at
On The Case VBS. You will experience a small taste of what they experienced. Join us at the
church starting at 10:30 on Sunday, July 20.
Don’t Miss the Mystery of the Summer!
