God, who is one, is revealed in three distinct persons.

​

J e s u s

We believe in the mystery of salvation through Jesus Christ. God became human in Jesus whose life, death, and resurrection demonstrate God's redeeming love.

​

T h e   H o l y   S p i r i t

The Holy Spirit is God's present activity in our midst. When we sense God's leading, God's challenge, or God's support or comfort, it's the Holy Spirit at work.

​

H u m a n   B e i n g s

Genesis 1:27 asserts that we've been made in the image of the Creator. Like God, we have the capacity to love and care, to communicate, and to create. 

​

T h e   C h u r c h

The church is the body of Christ, an extension of Christ's life and ministry in the world.

​

T h e   B i b l e

We believe that the Bible is the primary authority for our faith and practice. 

​

G o d ' s   R e i g n

The kingdom or reign of God is both a present reality and future hope.

Our team is dedicated to serving the local church. Together, they offer years of ministerial experience and expertise in their respective fields, which coalesce to enhance the vision and mission of St. Stephen's United Methodist Church.

June 8 - 12

9:00 am - Noon

​

Ages 3 through 5th Grade

Join us June 8–12 from 9:00 am to noon for an exciting week of Vacation Bible School for children in Pre-K through 5th grade. Kids will embark on an Alaskan adventure where glowing northern lights, rushing rivers, and icy glaciers set the stage for discovering that Jesus is our True North—a faithful friend we can always trust. Each day, children travel with their small “Crews” through engaging activity stations, sing fun and faith-filled songs, and experience the daily Bible message through hands-on activities designed to help them learn, grow, and make new friends.

​

Deadline to register is Friday, May 29, 2026.

P A R E N T  &  G U A R D I A N  I N F O R M A T I O N

We are excited to welcome your children to our church for a week filled with crafts, games, bible study, and more! 

​

I N F O R M A T I O N  N E E D E D

During registration, you’ll be asked to share important details about your child(ren), including allergies, special accommodations, and approved individuals for drop-off and pick-up.

​

Children will be placed in a “Crew” with others their age. If your child would like to be in the same group as a friend, you can make that request during registration—we will do our best to accommodate!​

​

D R O P  O F F  &  P I C K U P  D E T A I L S

Each day, enter through the main doors facing Juan Tabo Blvd., where our friendly volunteers will be ready to welcome you and assist with check-in.

​

In the Fellowship Hall, you will check in using your name and your child’s name. Your child will receive a nametag with their Crew animal, and you will receive a matching pick-up tag with an ID number. This tag will be required for pick-up each day.

​

Important: If someone else will be dropping off or picking up your child, please list them as a trusted person during registration. Approved individuals may pick up your child, even without the tag, though bringing the tag or ID number is preferred.

​

A labeled water bottle

Snacks, if your child has specific dietary needs (we do our best to accommodate allergies)

Any necessary medical items, such as an EpiPen (please include a doctor’s note with instructions)
