Do to health concerns and the many surfaces that can be touched. The Children's Ministries Department will suspend lending from our Lending Vault until further notice.
Our Lending Vault is a service we provide for our churches to help offset costs for event programing. This includes VBS kits, backdrops, stuffed animals and costumes. It is $20 per borrowing trip. We rely on the careful care of those who borrow, to return them in a timely manner and to follow the care instructions for each. This is a local service and requires on site pick up and return. It is not a mailed lending service. Please fill out this form to request using our Lending Vault Resources in Children’s Ministries. This will help us to serve you better and see if we have the items you are requesting. We will contact you further once this form is fully filled out. Thank you to those who help sustain this program by donation and using the service. NOTE: during the month of July borrowing from our vault is closed the 3rd through the 5th week each year.

The Adventurer program was created to assist parents in their important responsibilities as their child’s primary teachers and evangelizers.
The North American Division Children’s Ministries Department and AdventSource have partnered with the Texas and Oregon Conferences to deliver Heroes Home Edition, an exciting Vacation Bible School that families can enjoy in the safety of their own homes.
Heroes Home Edition is available online as a free download at HeroesHomeEdition.org. It will include a practical guide for using technology and hands-on learning to experience Heroes VBS at home!
The second week of July was all about the HeroesLive. Here is a report from Sherri Uhrig, our much loved NAD Children’s Ministries Director. The VBS season has taken off with an explosion of families being involved making sure their children experience VBS with their friends from church and friends from around the world. Heroes VBSLive registration opened with immediately 1000 registering. The number kept going up rapidly every day with a final count of well over 10,000. There were families from all over North American, Central America, South America, Canada, Bermuda, South Pacific Islands, Africa, Australia, Europe and Asia. Children and families were engaged! We prayed daily for the children and families AND for technology! 😊 Now Church Edition and Family Edition Heroes VBS are happening all over North America!
