Vacation Bible School 2026

July 12th-16th 5:30pm-8pm

Everyone will enjoy a FREE, interactive, energizing, Bible-based good time as they answer God’s call to step out into a challenging world and share His light. All kids 4 years old (and potty trained) through those who have completed 5th grade are invited to join us on our wild adventure. Kids will begin their journey with a free dinner at 5:30 PM. We will then gather at the mountain headquarters to worship together. Groups will then embark through their daily stations: Bible stories, crafts, games, music, service projects, and science.

Children’s Ministries at Bettendorf Presbyterian Church

Welcome to the Children’s Ministries page at Bettendorf Presbyterian Church (BPC) — a safe, fun, and faith-filled place for kids to grow in their relationship with Jesus! Our ministry supports children and families from Pre-K through 5th grade with engaging Bible learning, fellowship, service, and hands-on activities.

Kid-Friendly Faith Formation

We believe children thrive when they learn about God in environments that are welcoming, age-appropriate, and rooted in Scripture.

Our Children’s Ministries are designed to:

• Help kids build strong relationships with Jesus
• Grow in community with other children
• Explore the Bible through stories, games, crafts, and activities
• Encourage service, worship, and prayer

Our goal is to support families on the faith journey so kids can become confident disciples of Christ.

Sunday School (September – May)

Sunday School meets each Sunday between worship services from 10:00–10:40 AM during the school year.
Children from Pre-K through 5th grade enjoy a fun, relational Bible lesson, snacks, and creative activities split by age group.

Journey — Wednesday Nights (September – May)

Journey is our mid-week kids ministry gathering every Wednesday evening, 5:30–7:00 PM, from September through May.
Kids enjoy:
✅ A free dinner
✅ Music and worship
✅ Bible stories and teaching
✅ Crafts, games, and adventure activities
This interactive program walks through the Bible in a way kids love and makes them feel God’s love in every session.

Mission & Vision

Our Children’s Ministries mission is to assist and nurture families and children on their faith journey to becoming disciples of Jesus Christ by offering Bible-based programs of study, service, and mission. This mission shapes everything we do.
