Welcome to Rocky Railway

Where Jesus' Power Pulls Us Through!


We are pleased to announce that VBS will be in-person this Summer. We will offer a morning program from 9:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. and an afternoon program from 12:30 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. with limited numbers to provide a safe and fun environment for your children to learn and grow. Children will be asked to wear masks, practice social distancing, and use hand wipes. We will have awesome crafts, music, Bible stories, games, snacks, service projects, and special events throughout the week.    


This year, more than ever before, we need to remember that Jesus’ power can help us to make a difference in our communities by:

  1. Monday - Helping us to do hard things
  2. Tuesday - Helping  give us hope
  3. Wednesday - Helping  us to be bold
  4. Thursday - Reminding us that we will live forever
  5. Friday - Helping us to be good friends and look out for each other


Climb aboard for mountains of fun! On this faith-filled adventure, we will discover that trusting Jesus really does pull us through life’s ups and downs.


Your $50 fee covers: a VBS t-shirt, 5 daily crafts, a gift bag, and daily music, opening/closings, snacks, special events, and much more! If we cancel due to COVID-19, you will receive a full refund.

VBS Volunteers needed! 

We will need more volunteers this Summer to help out either in the morning or the afternoon, or even do both (lunch will be provided daily for those volunteering for both groups). We will need folks to help out before VBS, during, and after. What a great way to use your gifts and talents to be a part of our community outreach! There is something for everyone. 


Please click the link below to complete the Volunteer Registration form and indicate your interest area and which orientation you can attend. We will be including a special segment of our orientation on Safe Sanctuary and COVID-19 protocols, as well as cover the differences and adjustments made in order to offer two programs during the same week. Even if you have helped in the past, we really need you to attend one of these orientations before VBS starts.  


Thanks for serving and making a difference in a child’s life,

Jennifer Austgen
