A NOTE ON VBS 2020... In consultation with our partner church, Salem ARP in Atoka, we have decided that offering a Vacation Bible School experience in June 2020 will not be feasible. We have built a wonderful reputation in our community with our VBS program. This is because much time, talent, energy, and coordination takes place months prior to its presentation. Although initial supplies have already been purchased, full coordination of all elements now eludes us (and since many summer event dates have already been shifted) it seems best to postpone this ministry until next summer. May God be honored!
We had a wonderful week of surf, sand, and learning about Jesus! We sure hope you can return next summer for VBS 2020!

Scenes from VBS 2015!
We had a WONDERFUL time at VBS, 2014! Our Truth Detectives worked on their CSI, FBI, NSA, and CIA* certifications as we searched to discover the real Jesus! With special help from Special Agent Stockson Bonds, our Detectives were trained to determine if Jesus was either a criminal, a confused person, or the Christ promised by God! All of our Bible teaching, music, crafts, games, and even snack time complimented their instruction. From Monday through Thursday we held our training at the Richland ARP Church. However, on Friday we met at our top secret party location for a day of debriefing and cooling off! (An oasis of swimming in Covington -- see video)
We want to also thank all the volunteers and students who also gathered hundreds of items for the Millington Crisis Center which will serve to assist families with newborn infants. Thank you to all for attending, serving, and investigating the riches of our faith in Jesus Christ!
