VBS is a BIG DEAL at FaithWestwood!
Our entire church family gets involved in the planning, directing, shopping, leading, and teaching that it takes to make this the most exciting week of the year in Family Ministry!
The Petes
Meet Your Hosts -- The Petes!
With their unique style, engaging humor, and boundless enthusiasm, The Petes bring so much energy and laughter to our VBS celebration!
Pete, RePete, 3Pete, and Tiny Pete make appearances at special events and in promotional videos throughout the year too. They keep us moving, keep us laughing, and VBS wouldn't be the same without them.
