What’s Hiding Under the bed?
Have you ever been afraid of the dark? Heard a creak in the hallway and pulled the covers over your head? Fear is something we all face—but God’s light is brighter than any shadow!
This summer, at New Hope Community Church’s VBS, we’re tackling fears in a BIG way with our theme:
“There’s a Monster Under My Bed: Shining God’s Light on My Fears!”
Through exciting Bible adventures, fun music, wacky games, and hands-on activities, kids will discover that no fear is too big when Jesus is by their side.
Be a Hero Behind the Scenes (or Right in the Action!)
VBS 2025: “There’s a Monster Under My Bed!” is a wild and wonderful week of faith, fun, and friendly monsters—and it wouldn’t be possible without an incredible team of volunteers.
Whether you’re guiding a group of kiddos, helping with crafts, running games, serving snacks, or offering a warm smile at check-in, you’re helping shine the light of Jesus in powerful ways.
This is your chance to make a lasting impact and be part of something kids will never forget.
“The Lord is my light and my salvation—whom shall I fear?”

About MrJ Band
In 1976, MrJ Ministries was established, which eventually developed into The MrJ Band, a creative theater group that has touched the lives of more than a quarter-million young children and their families. Through their Christ-centered message, conveyed via vibrant music, theater, and interactive teachings, the band has been able to organize various events across the country. Their ultimate goal is to proclaim the Gospel while also nurturing young artists and helping them spread the word of God through creative means.
During New Hope’s VBS, the MRJ Band leads children in worship, while our team of staff and volunteers helps coordinate the activity and snack stations. Students will be placed in smaller groups with a dedicated volunteer who will help encourage them throughout VBS.
