Vacation Bible School
High Impact, action filled Vacation Bible School It happens each summer. Hillside ‘rocks’ with kids, teachers, and helpers in a dynamic week of Vacation Bible School every year in July. Classrooms are ‘transformed’ into theme setting stages for Bible stories played out by dedicated and enthusiastic teachers. Children learn about Jesus as Savior and Lord, as well as other Bible principles through the memorable week, concluding with a special program for parents and friends. Pictures show the many faces of VBS past. See pictures on our web site. (link to pictures or show a picture)
