VBX Registration

Buckle up and get ready to hit the road at this summer’s FAC Kids VBX (Vacation Bible eXperience)! We’ll spend five nights following God’s big redemption road map, making pit stops in Creation City, Corruption Junction, Cross County, and Consecration Ville. Each night, we’ll worship, play games, do hands-on activities, and dig into Scripture together—all the while figuring out where we are on our journey with God.


VBX Volunteers

We need your help to make VBX happen! We are in need of folks to lead preschool and elementary small groups throughout the week and folks to join our snack and game teams. Interested? Reach out to Hannah Meredith for further details about serving during the best week of the year!
