A Friendship Trek . . .

Jesus, our Forever Friend Friends are great gifts from God… and the greatest friend of all is Jesus, our Savior!

Grab your gear and join Friendship Trek, an amazing hike through the Bible to meet Jesus, our Forever Friend. Kids find fun, faith, and friends at Friendship Trek. They experience Jesus’ friendship, enjoy meeting old and new friends, and learn to care for one another.

Kids explore five friend-filled Bible stories about Jesus in small groups called Circle Groups. They run to follow Jesus as He reaches out to a new friend named Matthew. They go along as a centurion’s friends ask Jesus to heal the man’s servant—and He does! They traipse to the temple as Jesus heals a blind friend, then go to Bethany to see Jesus raise His friend Lazarus from the dead. Finally, they scurry to a locked room on Easter evening to witness the ultimate love Jesus showed by giving His life for His friends.

Each day begins at Trailhead Opening where kids sing, pray, and find out about the day's trek. Then several Circle Groups rotate together to five activity sites for 20-minute sessions. Finally, they go to Friendship Summit Closing to wrap up each day.

A Christ-centered VBS has lasting impact our children, families, churches, and communities.
