We are so excited about our Hope City Kids 2026 VBS - Emerald Crossing!
In a world filled with worry and confusion, kids need to know there is a God who cares for them. At Emerald Crossing VBS, we will journey through Ireland’s lush landscapes, exploring the powerful words of Psalm 23. We will discover the life of the shepherd-king David and will learn how to cross from worry to peace, from fear to faith, and from uncertainty to a firm foundation in God’s Word through a relationship with the Good Shepherd.
Get your passport ready for Ireland and join the adventure!
Hope City Kids Emerald Crossing VBS will be held Monday, July 6th thru Thursday, July 9th at Shoal River Middle School from 6:00-8:30PM. (Please note: Dinner will not be provided so children will need to eat dinner before arriving. We will provide a small snack each evening.)
