Join us for St. Theresa Rainforest Falls VBS where we will explore the nature of God! Rainforest Falls is filled with awesome Bible-learning experiences kids see, hear, and touch! Team-building games, unforgettable songs, and tasty treats are just a few of the standout activities that help faith flow into real life.
Parents/Adults, there is a place for you too at VBS!!!
Serving as a Group Leader is a great place to start - no prep or planning required - come and travel with your child from activity to activity, helping out where needed. Thee will be an Adult Leader at each rotation to lead the activity.
Looking to get more involved and lead one of the Station Rotations? Station Leaders are the core to Rainforest Falls!
We are still looking for a Wild Games Leader. This is great for someone who is energetic, likes to lead kids in fun games, enjoys the outdoors. You don't have to come up with the games on your own - ideas and suggested supply list are provided.
Do you enjoy prepping snacks with meaning? The Treetop Treats Leader may be just what you are looking for! Snack ideas are provided.
Maybe you don't want to lead an activity, but would like to help out in one of the rotation areas - check out the volunteer registration for descriptions of the different volunteer opportunities.
Youth entering 6th grade through high school can volunteer too! Youth volunteers can help in any of the station rotations or can serve as a Crew Leader travelling with a small crew of kids to each activity.
Each year, the St. Theresa Religious Education Board seeks a few new members to serve on the Religious Education Board. The St. Theresa Religious Education Board is comprised of an energetic group of individuals united in the mission to give the students and families of the St. Theresa Religious Education Program the best faith formation possible. This effort is facilitated through community events, working to engage parents in their child's faith formation, and general support of the overall catechetical needs of young believers. This is an opportunity to put plans into action where you will directly see the efforts of your work. Board terms are for 3 years.
