Catawba Falls Hike

Join us for a moderate 3 mile roundtrip hike to Catawba Falls. We will meet in the parking area for the hike up then spend time wading in the cool water and having lunch before heading back down. The trail is not stroller friendly so non-walking kids will need carriers. Wear shoes that can get wet as there are creek crossings along the trail (careful of slippery rocks!). A change of clothes is recommended if your kid likes to get wet.

VBS GOES ON THE ROAD….

Join us at one of our locations for an amazing Backyard Kids Club* adventure discovering the incredible mysteries of the final frontier- right from your backyard! Grab your telescope and head to your clubhouse observatory where endless discoveries await!  Your telescope becomes a portal through which you encounter unusual and beautiful things designed by our  Creator who is even bigger than the vastness of His creations. *Backyard Kids Clubs are smaller versions of Vacation Bible School that is at a location other than our campus and a way to take Christ into the neighborhoods, bringing a life-changing message to children and their families.

WHY is VBS going on the road?

Lake Hills Church is growing and expanding!  We are under construction, adding new Children’s’ Ministry space and expanding our Worship Center- getting ready for YOU to visit!  Due to our Candler Campus being under heavy construction over the summer months, we will be taking VBS out into our community this summer! We want to be sure we offer a fun- filled spiritual adventure while maintaining the highest levels of safety!  Therefore, we encourage each to join us in this new endeavor as we continue to offer VBS  to our community but in a whole new way!  Backyard Kids Clubs (BKC’s) takes VBS into our homes, neighborhoods, and communities sharing Christ with our friends and neighbors. It offers everything VBS does: Crafts, Games, Recreation, Snacks, Bible Study and Music. Plus, it is lots and lots of fun!
