Pioneer Church is thrilled to announce that registration for our 2023 Vacation Bible School (VBS) is now open!

JOIN US JUNE 26 – 30, 9:00 – 12:00

All children ages 3 and up are invited to join us as we become Chefs and explore Bible stories about food. Together we will discover how we can turn to God in prayer every day to meet our needs, and how we can join God in providing for the needs of others. Each morning will begin with a high energy assembly time during which we introduce the theme for the day, followed by activity station rotations in small groups. Interactive Bible Stories will reveal “Daily Specials” to equip your Chefs for an active life with God. Chefs will expand on the “Daily Special” by making art projects at the Craft Station, singing new songs at the Music Station, exploring the wonders of God’s creation at the Science Station, playing games at the Recreation Station, and enjoying tasty treats at the  Snack Station.

TWEEN MISSION OPPORTUNITY – Our afternoon mini mission projects were a great success last year, and we are delighted to offer this fun opportunity again this summer. Tweens (ages 10+) who are interested in participating will work as station assistants during the morning program, eat a packed lunch at the church, and then participate in a different mission experience together each afternoon. Current plans include helping at Rescue Village, sewing pillowcases for children who have experienced trauma, providing trail maintenance for a local park, and creating supply bags to give to those in need. We hope your older children will consider joining us!

SAFETY IS OUR PRIORITY – Pioneer takes keeping children safe and healthy very seriously. All of our volunteers are background checked, trained in child protection best practices, and work in pairs. We will also take appropriate steps to mitigate the spread of illness during camp, including holding activities outdoors as weather permits, promoting good hygiene and frequent hand washing, and frequently cleaning shared supplies. If you would like more information regarding any of our safety practices, please feel free to ask.

In order to register your child(ren) for VBS, please complete one copy of the contact information page per family, and one copy of the medical information page per child. Completed registrations can be mailed to the church, submitted by email to vbs@pioneersolon.org, or dropped off in person weekdays between 9am-3pm. Thanks to the support of Pioneer members, VBS is entirely free of charge. 

Please feel free to reach out with any questions you might have.

Space is limited, so don’t delay to secure spots for your children! We can’t wait to see them at VBS!
