VBS | June 1-4 | 9:00 a.m. - 12:25 p.m.
Step through the mist with us this summer into a paradise overflowing with wild waterfalls, towering trees, and colorful creatures. Each day we will explore the life-giving truth that God loves us deeply. VBS is June 1-4, and registration is now open for rising K-6th graders!
Kids entering grades K-5 will experience faith taking root as they discover God is their loving creator who knows everything about them. Wonder washes away doubt that God loves us and hope lives when kids explore the rich gift of Jesus and promise of a home forever.
Kids going into 6th grade this fall will explore the lush and lively setting in their very own, 6th grade only, experience.
Our incredible Student Ministry Volunteers are essential to a successful VBS! Rising 7th–12th graders will team up with adult leaders to guide our young explorers, ensuring they have a fun and safe adventure.
Adult Volunteers will serve as Rainforest Rangers, leading groups of kids through the heart of the rainforest. Bring your sense of adventure and love for the outdoors—Athens First will be buzzing with young explorers!
Calling all little ones of our amazing volunteers! Kids Pre-K and under are invited to Paradise Preschool. Children who turn 4 years old by 9/1/26 will enjoy a VBS experience designed just for them. Younger children (ages 0-3 years) will be cared for by our loving nursery staff while their grown-ups help lead the big kids.
**Childcare and Pre-K VBS is provided for Adult Volunteers only**
We can't wait to welcome your little ones for a fun-filled time!
