🐾Welcome to Weird Animals VBS
This summer, give your child the gift of faith, friendship, and fun!
Weird Animals Vacation Bible School is more than a week of exciting activities—it’s a joyful journey into discovering a powerful truth:
Jesus’ love is one-of-a-kind—and so are you.
In a world that often encourages us to fit in, VBS reminds children that God created each of us unique, with purpose and love. Together, as one family in faith, we help our children see themselves the way God sees them—special, known, and deeply loved.
🐾 Where Jesus’ Love is One-of-a-Kind

Get ready for a wild and unforgettable adventure!
At Weird Animals VBS, kids will discover some of the most unusual and fascinating creatures on earth—and learn that just like those animals, they are wonderfully made by God.
Each day is filled with excitement as children experience:
- Uplifting music that brings faith to life
- Engaging Bible stories that reveal God’s love
- Creative crafts and hands-on activities
- Fun games, skits, and shared laughter
Through it all, one message remains clear:
No matter how different we may feel, we are all part of God’s plan.
🐾 Rooted in Faith
At the heart of VBS is something deeper than fun—it’s formation.
Children will learn:
- God knows them personally
- God created them with purpose
- God loves them just as they are
- They are never alone
In a warm and welcoming environment, kids grow in confidence, faith, and friendship—grounded in the love of Christ.
👨👩👧👦 A Place for Every Child
Whether your child is joining us for the first time or returning again, they will be welcomed with open arms.
From Preschool through Elementary, every child becomes part of something bigger—a joyful, faith-filled community centered on Jesus.

🙌 Why Weird Animals?
Because sometimes we feel different.
Sometimes we feel like we don’t quite fit in.
But God doesn’t make mistakes.
Just like the most unusual creatures in creation, every child is intentionally designed and wonderfully made.
And that’s exactly what makes them special.
