Annual Events For Children

Easter Egg Hunt

(Held the Saturday immediately before Easter Sunday at 11 AM)

Our Annual Easter Egg Hunt takes place the day before Easter. In 2024 it will be held on March 30.  The hunt always begins at 11 AM.  There are no age restrictions.  Typically we have at least 3,500 eggs divided up into four age groups.  

​

We ensure that every child who comes leaves with a good amount of eggs and a free gift of their choice.  We ensure each child receives eggs by only hiding some of the eggs to begin with, we then hide more eggs and allow those children with low amounts to hunt again!!  

​

You can have your children's picture taken with the Easter Bunny for FREE!  We print the photos during the event.

​

IN THE CASE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER

THE EGG HUNT IS HELD INDOORS!!!!

Children can be dropped off at 9:30 AM each morning.  Bible School starts at 10 AM and runs through 12:30 PM including lunch.

On Sunday morning following VBS week we invite the children and their families for a program designed to share what the children have learned during the week.  The program is held during our regular worship hour of 10:45 AM and concludes with a FREE lunch for all to enjoy!!!
