On the Go with God VBS July 14-18

This annual day of service is an opportunity to live out our call as the church—freed in Christ to love and serve our neighbors.



Service takes many forms, from assembling care kits for shelters to planting community gardens, visiting homebound members, or cleaning up public spaces. No matter how you serve, your hands become an extension of Christ’s love in the world.

As Martin Luther once wrote, “Our faith is a living, busy, active, mighty thing.” On this special day, we come together to embody that faith, showing God’s love in action through acts of service that bring restoration and hope to our communities.
