Join us for “True North”, the ultimate Alaskan adventure, where northern lights glow over majestic mountains, racing rivers, and glistening glaciers. As kids trek the tundra, they’ll explore how easy it is to lose sight of what’s true in our wild world today. Through hands-on adventures, Bible stories, tasty treats, and fun games and activities, kids will be pointed toward Jesus, our True North. This VBS shows kids that Jesus is a faithful friend we can always trust. He’s our True North!

Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a one-week (2 hours a day) adventure for kids from age 4 to grade 6. “True North” VBS will take place June 7 to June 11, 2025 from 6 pm to 8 pm at the Akron First Seventh-day Adventist Church. We request that you pre-register. Register online at https://tinyurl.com/AkronFirstVBS2025. Be sure to be part of the best week of summer.

10 days of prayer in the new year! Let’s unite in prayer for 30 minutes daily starting starting tomorrow, January the 8th to 18th. We have the opportunity to join with our worldwide Adventist church family during these 10 days of prayer to pray for revival! Praying for the Holy Spirit to bless us, our families, our communities, and church will make a difference this year to lead us to be salt where people will thirst for Jesus as they encounter us – that is our prayer so that we can fulfill our mission to love people and share Jesus!
