    VBS in Slovakia

    The VBS curriculum is similar to the program at Grace. It features songs, games, Bible stories, crafts, and science experiments. This year’s theme is True North, which will take students on a wild adventure in Alaska while teaching them about how Jesus is a faithful friend who we can always trust.

    You're Invited!

    If you love adventure, learning about other cultures and – most important of all – sharing your faith, consider this unique opportunity: traveling to Slovakia to volunteer with the Center for Christian Education (CCE)’s Vacation Bible School. There are different roles to fill, using different gifts. What is needed most is your love, smile, and desire to share with the children. Last year, 160 children were able to attend, and we hope to increase that this year with more volunteers able to join us.
