VBS 2026
June 22-26, 2026
6:00 - 8:30 PM
What to Expect
Children will join a week‑long adventure discovering how Jesus seeks them, saves them, and walks with them every day.
Tropical Trek VBS (CPH) is a free, Christ‑centered, island‑adventure program built around Luke 19:10—“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” It teaches children that Jesus finds, rescues, and loves them in every circumstance. Christ Lutheran Church in Mustang, Oklahoma will host this VBS June 22–26, 2026, from 6:00–8:30 PM.
Across five days, children explore major stories showing God’s rescue plan in action:
God Saves Baby Moses (Exodus 1–2)
Ruth & Naomi (Book of Ruth)
Jesus and Zacchaeus (Luke 19:1–10)
Jesus Rises from the Dead (Luke 24:1–12)
Jesus Appears to Paul (Acts 9:1–9)
Each lesson highlights how God meets His people in fear, loss, sin, and uncertainty—and brings hope, strength, and new life.
There is also a Bible study for adults during this time as well.
Tropical Trek VBS at Christ Lutheran Church – Mustang, Oklahoma
A Personal Invitation from Pastor Ross
Welcome Friends in Christ,
I want to personally invite your family to join us for Tropical Trek Vacation Bible School at Christ Lutheran Church in Mustang, Oklahoma. This year’s VBS theme from Concordia Publishing House takes children on a vibrant island adventure where they discover the unchanging truth of God’s Word and the steady love of Jesus. It’s a week filled with hands‑on learning, memorable Bible stories, and the assurance that God guides us through every step of life’s journey.
What Is Vacation Bible School (VBS)?
Vacation Bible School, or VBS, is a Christ‑centered summer program designed to help children learn the Bible in a fun, engaging, and age‑appropriate way. Through music, crafts, games, storytelling, and interactive activities, kids experience the love of Jesus in a safe and joyful environment. VBS has been a trusted ministry for generations because it combines biblical teaching with meaningful relationships and a welcoming atmosphere for families.
At Christ Lutheran Church (LCMS) in Mustang, VBS is more than a week of activities. It is an opportunity for children to hear the Gospel clearly, build friendships, and discover that God’s promises are for them—today and always.
Serving the Whole Family: Adult Bible Study Offered at the Same Time
We believe that ministry should serve every generation. That’s why, during the same hours as Tropical Trek VBS, we offer a Bible study for adults. While your children explore God’s promises through the Tropical Trek adventure, you can grow in your own faith, connect with other adults, and be refreshed by God’s Word. It is a true all‑ages ministry experience designed to strengthen families and build community.
