At Messiah, we have an intergenerational congregational approach to youth, young adult, and family ministry. That means that we all--the whole congregation--are the people who plan youth events, teach classes, make friends with children and teens, offer advice and support, act as role models, and, most importantly, share the Christian community.

Vacation Bible School 2023
June 26th - 30th | 9:00 am - 12:00

Through Changemakers Lab children learn that everyone can make a difference in the world! During the week we will explore five Bible stories with examples of people who experienced and brought about change in the world around them. These people provide a model for asking hard questions, working together to solve problems, reaching across differences, caring for all people, and imagining a new world. Join us for a week of fun, snacks, games, music and learning about faith.

Vacation Bible School is open to children ages 3-years-old through those who have completed 5th grade.
