Vacation Bible School:

Vacation Bible School is run by Knox Presbyterian Church every summer with a large number of members of the congregation adults, and youth, volunteering in a variety of roles from teaching Bible lessons, preparing snack, leading groups, leading games, setting up the environment, leading interactive worship, and many others.

All the volunteers work together to make a memorable, fun, and faith-filled adventure over a week for children ages 4-11.

Leading with Care:

In order to ensure the safety of children, youth, families, and volunteers, we use the Presbyterian Church in Canada leading with Care document and do screening of all potential volunteers.
