Vacation Bible School (V.B.S.) Mission Statement
We believe parents are the first, but not the only, teachers of their children. The Domestic Church, the family, precedes, accompanies and enriches all other forms of religious education. It is our philosophy that parents are the primary educators of their children. Our religion extends infinitely beyond an hour in church once a week. We can only support and reinforce that which is practiced at home. We can give meaning to the rituals and symbols of our Church, but only the family can give meaning to our faith in how you live and worship every day. We are confident that your family’s daily commitment to God combined with the curriculum and activities provided by our Religious Education Program can and will effectively guide our children as they grow, learn and face the future, believing, loving and living the gift of faith.
