Full-day program, including a Friday Field Trip/Community Day and a Saturday Family Celebration Ceremony. Inspired by Ecclesiastes 3:5, Stone Quest is a 5-day STEAM-based VBS. Students engage in hands-on learning, an immersive economic simulation, and daily reflections to discover how their choices shape themselves and the world around them.
Age Group Tracks
- Citizens (Grades K–5): The foundation of the kingdom. Students learn basic financial literacy (earning, saving, and spending) through a kingdom-wide simulation and collaborative STEAM activities.
- Disciples (Grades 6–8): The representatives of the kingdom. Students build on financial literacy through budgeting and stewardship while practicing leadership, respectful communication, and service.
- Stewards (Grades 9–12): The leaders of the kingdom. Students learn entrepreneurship and business management by operating businesses within the kingdom economy, focusing on resource management and community guidance.
Each day concludes with a guided reflection on Ecclesiastes 3:5, helping students discern what to keep and what to cast away as they grow in wisdom, character, and faith.
Education builds empowerment, reflection builds discernment, and every choice helps build the kingdom—one stone at a time.
