VBS/VBX 2026: Illumination Station
It’s time for the best week of the year–VBS/VBX! It’s going to be an action-packed week of Bible stories, missions, science experiments, worship, recreation and more! Church at The Mill will have three identical VBS/VBX experiences; you just pick the campus location that works best for your family!
Our theme this year is Illumination Station! Culture claims to know about Jesus, but many are in the dark about who He really is. Some might see Jesus as just a person from history, a good man, or a wise teacher, but He is much more than that. Illumination Station VBS/VBX challenges kids to answer Jesus’s important question to His disciples, “Who do you say that I am?” As we explore all the ways light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals, kids will discover that Jesus is the light that brings hope to a dark world.
We invite all kids K3 (must be 4 years old by 9/1/26) through current 5th grade to join us for an epic VBS/VBX experience, which includes extra adventure for our 4th–5th graders at VBX!
We’re excited to offer three locations for VBS/VBX again this year! Programming will take place at our campuses at the following times.

VBS/VBX Donations
This year, we are serving the communities that our campuses reach by gathering food donations from each campus VBS for His Storehouse Food Pantry at our Lake Cooley Campus and Woodruff Area Soup Kitchen. Your donations make a BIG impact!
Additionally, each campus will have the opportunity to give monetary donations to support the Through Our Eyes project, a ministry which uses photography as a way to share the gospel with people across the world. Through Our Eyes gives disposable cameras to people and asks them to tell their stories from their own, unique perspectives. All monetary funds raised during VBS/VBX will help Through Our Eyes purchase cameras and pay for printing and development for a new project in New York City in 2027.
