VBC Youth's Purpose

Our youth ministry’s focus is to help middle school and high school students develop as dedicated followers of Jesus Christ and provide them with opportunities to engage with each other and their community in a God-honoring way. 

At VBC, we take the responsibility to disciple our youth seriously. Our Connect (6th-8th grade) and The Pursuit (9th-12th grade) ministries help lay a foundation for the Christian faith through biblical instruction, Christian fellowship, and opportunities to serve. The Church cannot afford to fail in raising up the next generation to follow Christ. It is our joy to partner with parents in shepherding our youth as they emerge into adulthood.

Sunday School
Offered every Sunday at 9:30 am. High School meets in room 151 and Middle School meets in room 150 (Fellowship Hall).

Courageous Conquerors is a Sunday School option during the 9:30 service in Room 152 for differently abled students, including individuals who have challenges in reading and writing. This class is designed for students in 6th-12th grade who may benefit from a curriculum in between elementary and secondary school levels of learning. Courageous Conquerors will be flexibly tailored to the students in attendance, incorporating multiple learning styles as developmentally appropriate. Please call Stephanie at the church office (509-928-5161) for more information and/or to enroll your student.

Wednesday Nights
Every Wednesday from 6:30 to 8:30 pm at the church, we bring students together to fellowship around truth and relationships. Middle school and high school students study God’s Word, sing, enjoy activities, and share life in small groups.
