Kingdom Quest VBS 2026
This summer, we’re excited to invite kids to Kingdom Quest VBS, an opportunity to learn more about God’s Kingdom and what it means to follow Jesus. Through Bible stories, music, games, and small group activities, kids will explore how God’s Kingdom shapes the way we live and love others. VBS is open to children preschool through fifth grade and will be held Monday, June 8 through Wednesday, June 10 from 6:00–8:00 pm at St. Andrew UMC. A free meal for participating families will be available each evening beginning at 5:15 pm. VBS is a meaningful and fun week where kids can build friendships, grow in faith, and discover how they can be part of God’s Kingdom in their everyday lives. We hope you’ll join us this summer!
What to Expect
When you arrive, you and your family are invited to dinner starting at 5:15 pm. After eating dinner make sure to check your children in the Commons (lobby) each day and drop off at the Great Room at 5:50 pm. We will be starting right at 6:00 pm, so please have all kids checked in by then. Kids will be welcomed and assigned to their group for the week, where they will get to engage in lots of fun! We will sing some high energy music, experience Bible stories, engage in various crafts and games and even serve towards a mission project (more info coming soon!). We hope that being part of our VBS will create a space for a fun, memorable week with your kids as they learn these foundational Truths to begin understanding the base of who God is. We are encouraging families to download this year's theme song from iTunes or Spotify. Families and volunteers may register using the buttons below on or after Sunday, March 8th!
VBS is free to everyone! If you are part of St. Andrew and would like to, you are welcome to make a donation.
Missions
At St. Andrew, learning about and supporting missions is a beloved VBS tradition - and this year, we’re taking that mission into the garden! Our 2026 VBS mission will have roots in the Tithing Garden, a special space where free garden plots are made available to those who commit to donating at least 10% of their harvest to help feed the food insecure.
During the week of VBS - an ideal time for planting - Children will get their hands in the soil as we plant vegetables and flowers together. The flowers will attract important pollinators, helping our garden thrive, and the vegetables we grow will be harvested later this summer and fall to support out local food pantry.
This hands-on experience will teach children about nature, generosity, and the tangible impact of giving. It’s a place where we can see the fruit of our VBS mission grow - literally and spiritually. Families will also be invited back later in the season to help harvest and share the blessings with those in need.
Let’s grow something meaningful together!

Kingdom Quest VBS!
Kingdom Quest VBS will teach kids about:
- Friendship & Community: God’s Kingdom is about belonging and loving others as part of one family
- Empathy & Compassion: Jesus cared deeply for people and invites us to do the same.
- Forgiveness & Grace: God’s Kingdom is built on grace, not perfection.
