Immanuel Children's Ministry
IBCKids
Vacation Bible School
May 31 – June 4, 2026 from 6:30pm – 8:30pm
In a world filled with worry and confusion, kids need to know there is a God who cares for them. At Emerald Crossing VBS, they’ll journey through Ireland’s lush landscapes, exploring the powerful words of Psalm 23. They’ll discover the life of the shepherd-king David and will learn how to cross from worry to peace, from fear to faith, and from uncertainty to a firm foundation in God’s Word through a relationship with the Good Shepherd.
ABout IBCKids
Our vision is to serve God, children, and families with humility and love while partnering with parents to teach Biblical truths.
We strive to create a safe and secure environment that enables parents to participate in church services and volunteers the opportunity to grow spiritually and connect with other followers of Christ.
Our IBCKids ministry serves children from birth through 5th grade. During our children’s programming, your kids will have the chance to worship and learn about Jesus in a safe, clean, and joyful environment! We have age-specific curriculum for pre-school and elementary students.

A Safe and Secure Environment
IBCKids makes the check-in and check-out process easy, safe and secure. Our procedures ensure that you are quickly contacted if there are any issues and that only parents and authorized individuals can pick up a child. And, each IBCKids volunteer has undergone a background check to ensure a safe environment for your children.
For a faster check-in experience, pre-register your child ahead of time.
Our Latest Kids' Series
In May, IBCKids will be learning how God protected the early church by exposing Ananias and Sapphira’s deceit and led Philip to the Ethiopian at just the right time to share the Gospel.
God miraculously rescued Peter from prison, showing His power over human plans.
God used Paul to proclaim the truth to people who had never heard it, and He placed Priscilla and Aquila in Apollo’s path to explain the Gospel more clearly.
In each moment, God was directing and fulfilling His plan.
Parents, you can find both the topics and bible verses that your child is learning, along with a memory verse and a key question that each child will be asked as the focus of the lesson.
Check out the Schedule of Learning as well as a Family Calendar below!
From March through May, IBCKids will be learning how through the life of Jesus, His Miracles, and having Faith in Him, they can have a Firm Foundation to face the challenges of this world and to experience Joy, through out their daily activities and choices.
IBCKids will continue to learn how God is our true foundation and how his Word grounds us and builds that foundation, throughout the months of March-May, so your child will not want to miss even a second of Wooly Wednesdays!!
