VBS and Big Ministry Moments

Real Kids. Real Joy. Real BridgeKids Energy.

VBS is one of the biggest BridgeKids moments of the year. It gives kids a week full of Bible teaching, worship, games, crafts, outdoor fun, and the kind of memories that make church feel like home.

Vacation Bible School in Helena, MT

Our most recent VBS brought kids together at Bridge Helena for a week of energy, laughter, learning, and friendship. It is one of the clearest pictures of what we love about BridgeKids: kids hearing about Jesus and having a blast while they do it.

Bridge Helena also has a large open lawn on our church property, giving kids room for outdoor games, group activities, VBS moments, and the kind of joyful chaos kids remember.
