Adult Volunteers Needed!
In what way is the Spirit calling you to use your gifts and talents at VBS TRUE NORTH? In what area of VBS are you being led to guide campers to Trusting Jesus in a Wild World? Many adult volunteers are needed to make VBS 2025 a success. User-friendly guidebooks are provided for each volunteer area.
