Free Vacation Bible School
Snowball Mountain Challenge at Chain of Lakes Church
Vacation Bible School is coming to Chain of Lakes Church in Blaine, and this year VBS is completely FREE for every child.
From August 4–6, 10am to 2pm, kids are invited to take on the Snowball Mountain Challenge during three days of faith, fun, friendship, activities, learning, and connection.
Thanks to a generous anonymous donor from Chain of Lakes, every child can participate at no cost. That means more families in Blaine, Coon Rapids, Andover, Ham Lake, Spring Lake Park, Brooklyn Park, and surrounding communities can experience VBS without registration fees getting in the way.
We want children to feel known, welcomed, encouraged, and cared for. Whether your family already attends church, is looking for a church home, or simply wants a positive summer experience for your child, your child is welcome here.

VBS is more than a few days of games and activities. It is an opportunity for kids to build friendships, ask questions, learn about faith, experience encouragement, and discover that church can be a welcoming place where they belong.
During the Snowball Mountain Challenge, children will enjoy a fun, faith-filled experience designed to help them connect with God, with others, and with a caring church community.
All Kids Are Welcome at Chain of Lakes Church
Chain of Lakes Church is a welcoming and inclusive church in Blaine where strangers become friends.
We believe every child deserves to be treated with kindness, respect, and care. Your child does not need to know Bible stories, attend church regularly, or come from a “church family” to participate in VBS.
Children from all backgrounds, family structures, and faith experiences are welcome.
If your family has been away from church, is unsure about church, has been hurt by church, or is simply looking for a safe and positive place for your child this summer, we would be honored to welcome you.

Why VBS Is Free This Year
This year, an anonymous donor from Chain of Lakes Church generously offered to cover the registration cost for every child who participates in Vacation Bible School.
That gift allows us to remove the cost barrier for families and make VBS available to more kids in our community.
We are grateful for the opportunity to offer this experience for free and to invite more families to see what Chain of Lakes Church is all about.
