Romans 10:13  "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."  Ministries Sunday School Our Sunday School program is not just for children, but also for the teenagers and adults.  The adult class is a structured Bible study that encourages group participation. The Bible study may consist of a topical study or a complete study of a certain book of the Bible. We welcome you to come and join us during Sunday School. 9:30 a.m.-10:30 a.m. every Sunday morning. Just For Kids (J.F.K.) J.F.K. is an extensive ministry geared towards teaching children the importance of God's Word and applying it to their daily lives. The children are taught that the only way to truly understand the importance of the Bible is to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We concentrate on verse memorization by doing a step by step lesson plan each week. Games and activities are included in the program as well. There are a number of phases in each program.  At the end of the program, the children participate in an awards ceremony. For further information on the J.F.K. program visit the J.F.K. page or call (812) 937-4084. Youth Group The Youth Group at Dale Bible Church is made up of young folks from Seventh grade up to Seniors in High School. They meet every Wednesday night at 6:00 p.m. during the school year and at 6:30 p.m. during the summer months downstairs at the church for Bible study.  The group also has a very important place in the church involving various different ministries. They help during the Vacation Bible School program in many ways from assisting teachers to putting on biblical skits for the children. Occasionally the Youth Group will conduct an entire service from ushering to preaching. The group also plans activities with the guidance of the youth counsellors such as rock climbing, skating and other events they have scheduled. The Youth Group understands that their main priority is to honor and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ. Vacation Bible School (V.B.S.) The Dale Bible Church spends a week each summer with the children prior to the start of school focusing on glorifying our Lord Jesus Christ through the Vacation Bible School Program. The Program each year has a different theme and each class builds on this theme by the lessons that are taught, the way that they choose to decorate their classrooms and the crafts that they do. The children learn new songs, spend valuable time in God's word, do crafts and have a period of time set aside to play games. The children also learn the importance of supporting Christian missionaries around the world and each night we encourage the children to invite new friends to join in the fun, fellowship and worship.  Summer Youth Camp The Dale Bible Church along with the other IFCA International churches in the Southern Illinois and Indiana Regional hosts a summer camp at Shakamak State Park near Jasonville, Indiana each year. The youth are divided into two different camps. Junior Camp and Senior Camp each being independent of the other. Junior campers are 3rd to 6th graders.  Senior campers are 7th to12th graders. The focus is twofold, to see unsaved kids come to the Lord, and to encourage saved kids in the Word. They are not allowed to bring CDs, radios, TVs or anything that may distract them from the week's events.  Their whole focus is to be in fellowship and in the Word. Campers receive a book when they register which has verses they can memorize for points.  Each person is assigned to a team within their camp. All week they strive to see which team can accumulate the most points.  Each morning is spent at the flagpole where the camp administrator challenges each individual for the day.  Senior camp has chapel every morning and every evening.  During their free time, the Senior campers can relax and spend time getting to know one another.  At the end of camp, the Juniors have a campfire and go skating.  The Seniors have their campfire while the Juniors skate and once they return the Seniors go. The campfire is held in an outdoor amphitheater and it is a time for those who want to share what the Lord has done in their life during the past week. In each cabin, there is one teacher who has helpers.  They keep the Junior campers very busy.  Every morning  they participate in story time and in the evening chapel time. Their free time consists of  horseback riding, paddle boating or swimming. Both Senior and Junior camps have special themes and speakers that change from year to year.  It is an action packed week focused on the Lord. The week is exhausting and emotions run high, but fun is had by all.
