We are excited to bring back VBS! This year we will take an adventure through Psalm 23 in the Irish theme Emerald Crossing. Students will explore the life of the shepherd-king David and will learn how to cross from anxiety to peace, from fear to faith, and from uncertainty to a firm foundation in God's Word through a relationship with the Good Shepherd.

VBS will start Sunday, July 12th and conclude on Thursday, July 16th. Each evening VBS will start at 5:30pm with a whole group gathering and end at 8:30pm. On Thursday, July 16th beginning at 8:15pm, we will have a short program to share what we have learned during the week. Students ages 3 through 6th grade (spring '26) are welcome to join. We also will need volunteers 7th grade and older.

There is no cost to attend. Students should bring a sack supper and drink each night. A daily snack will be provided. Each night during the opening gathering, we will take a free will offering. The offering collected each night will be split between a mission project and Faith UCC VBS.

We look forward to seeing you this year! If you have any questions, please reach out to Justine Liddle 319-939-1499 or Helen Milius 319-239-8893 .

Hello everyone and thank you for visiting our page! ☺️

Some members of the Tripoli community felt called to start a worship and praise hour on Sunday evenings a couple times each month. We wanted to create a welcoming space where people can come together to sing, pray, worship, and encourage one another in faith. Faith UCC church has graciously offered to host these gatherings, and the address can be found on the flyer below.

Each gathering will include Chistian worship music, a short message, and fellowship with others in our community.

Wherever you are at in your faith journey, you are welcome here! We hope you'll join us for one (or all) of our upcoming Community Praise Hours. Feel free to invite friends, family, neighbors, surrounding communities, and anyone who may be looking for a place to worship and connect.

We look forward to praising God together and growing in faith as a community. 🩷

(Please see the flyer for dates/times and follow our page for updates and additional details.)

🌿 Who can you invite? 🌿

A friend.
A neighbor.
Your family.
Your Bible study group.

Someone who’s been needing a little encouragement.
Worship First is the kind of gathering where everyone is welcome. It’s simple, relaxed, and centered on worshipping together as a community.

Join us on Saturday, June 6 at 10 a.m. at Fueled By Faith for our first Worship First gathering of the summer. Live worship will be led by the amazing worship teams from Faith Evangelical Church in Sumner, and Alivia Lange will be sharing the message.

Bring a lawn chair and come be part of a beautiful morning together. 🤍
