Arthur Area Churches


For many years, Arthur area churches have united for a community wide Vacation Bible School. This brings together children and adults from various backgrounds and denominations to experience a faith-based event as one body of Christ. By coming together, the churches aim to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where children can learn about God's Word while fostering a sense of unity among the community and sharing of the Good News of Jesus Christ with all, regardless of their religious affiliations or denominational differences.
