The Oregon Conference Family and Children’s Ministries Department exists to equip, develop and inspire parents, caregivers, faith leaders, and children to follow Jesus.
We’re here to encourage, support, resource, network and train members from our churches to minister to families in their church, homes, and community.
This year's VBS Planning Day (previously known as VBS Fun Day) will be held March 12, 9:00 AM - 4:00 PM at the Holden Convention Center in Gladstone, Ore. Featured VBS programs will include:
Fiercely Faithful, Stellar, and the weekend VBS program this year:
Pets Unleashed.
A workshop for parents and leaders who are passionate
about passing their faith on to the next generation.
This workshop focuses on research-based methods that have been shown to be effective in children becoming adults of faith.
The Adventurer program was created to assist parents in their important
responsibilities as their child’s primary teachers and evangelizers.
You will find lessons, videos, podcasts, craft ideas and more in the Oregon Conference Children's Ministries newsletter each week for all the kids sabbath school programs. View the Newsletter here or get on the mailing list to receive it in your email. Find additional resources in the lists below.

Our Lending Vault Resources is open! Resources are available on Tuesday mornings, from 10:30 AM-12:00 PM by appointment only. Please telephone or text 503-850-3538 to make an appointment. If this time is impossible for you, please contact us to work out other options.
Our Lending Vault is a service we provide for churches to help offset costs for event programming. 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 follow the care instructions for each item. This is a local service and requires on site pick up and return. If you would like to submit a resources borrow request, please email Monica.Smith@oc.npuc.org or click on the button below.
NOTE: During the month of July, borrowing from our vault is closed due to camp meeting needs. All VBS supplies for July need to be picked up before July 1. Thank you.
