What is Vacation Bible School? The kids will be guided on the ultimate Alaskan adventure where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Pointing them toward Jesus, True North VBS shows them that he is a faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North!
The children have an opportunity to experience the joy of community among their peers while exploring their faith through song and dance, indoor and outdoor activities, and of course, a little snack.
What is FAST? FAST stands for Faith and Service Tour. Each day we start off with a Bible/Catholic Tradition Sound Bite and then go on a different community service field trip via school bus service. Some of the agencies we will visit: St. Joseph's Residence, St. Vincent de Paul, Catholic Charities, Brother Bill's and North Texas Food Bank where we will do a service project.
Please note that we’ve made some changes to the program ages last year. VBS is open for Pre-K 3 through 4th Grade and CTK FAST is open for 5th through 8th Grade.
Adult & High School volunteers are needed to assist both programs and truly make it “the week you don’t want to miss”.

Adult Volunteers:
Adult Volunteers must be 18 or older to serve. Doing so guarantees their children will have a spot in the programs. (Grandparents are welcome to volunteer, as well!)

Please be diligent in completing your items as quickly as possible.
