Shine Bright in a Dark World

At Illumination Station VBS, kids will discover who Jesus truly is—the Light of the World—and how His light changes everything. In a world where many people are in the dark about the truth of Jesus, this week is all about helping kids see clearly, live boldly, and shine brightly.

Why It Matters

Kids don’t just need more information—they need truth that transforms. At VBS, they’ll learn:

How much He loves them
What it looks like to follow Him in everyday life

This isn’t just a fun week (though it will be!); it’s a week that can shape their faith for years to come.
