Youth Week

Youth Week is the biggest event this summer for students in upcoming 6^th through graduating 12^th grade. Youth Week will take place June 26th through the 28th at our Vale Church Bloomington campus. This week will be jam-packed with amazing worship, life-changing teachings, intentional community, fun competitions, crazy after-parties—and we will end with a trip to Six Flags St Louis. This will be an overnight event, so students should be dropped off Tuesday at 6pm, then picked up Thursday at 9pm. Our Flash sale of $149 is going on right now—you can sign up online or at the Information Center today. If you have any questions or would like to sponsor a student, please email Ashlee Massey at amassey@vale.church. We’re excited to see what God can do with your student this summer at Youth Week!

This summer, Vale Youth will be launching Summer Groups for students in grades 10-12th. Summer Groups are an opportunity for your student to have great community and an impactful summer. We believe this will be the best part of your students week. These groups will take place Tuesday and Wednesday nights around the Bloomington/Normal area. You can sign up using the link below!
