Faith in the Wild is an environmentally-focused Vacation Bible School program inspiring children to explore their place and relationships in God's world. Through imaginative Bible storytelling and outdoor, immersive study of trees, water, birds, bugs and more, children will uncover elements of wildness and self-control within and how experiences of wilderness can help us cultivate a deep and lasting connection with God.

Gathering and Sending Rituals
