Sparta United Methodist Church

Beach Party VBS takes your kids on an exciting journey to the ocean where they will learn the basics of surfing, ride the wave of God’s love, and go home with a new Beach-Be Attitude. Having a Beach Be-Attitude means being obedient, kind, forgiving, bold, and believing. We'll sing cool beach music reminiscent of the Beach Boys, and learn cool stuff in the Surf ’n’ Sand Science Lab that will keep us having fun and bringing home the day’s Bible teaching and Be-Attitude.
