EdenQuest: Hallelujah Mountains
A Family VBS Adventure for Churches, Communities, and the Family of God. Bring your church family on an unforgettable journey to the Hallelujah Mountains of China!
EdenQuest: Hallelujah Mountains is a 3-Session, LifeSTREAMS (Scripture, Technology, Recreation, Engineering, Arts, Music Motion and Mission, Science) Family VBS experience that invites children, parents, grandparents, neighbors, and friends to explore God’s good creation together.
More than a program, EdenQuest is a spark for renewal. In a world where many feel lonely, isolated, or left out, EdenQuest proclaims the good news that God is building a family — a family where everyone is invited, everyone has a place, and everyone can come to the Lord through Jesus Christ.
Rooted in Scripture, prayer, worship, creativity, and hands-on discovery, EdenQuest helps families pause from the busyness of life and enter a time of rest, revival, and wonder. Through immersive Bible lessons, music, STEM, crafts, games, and shared experiences, participants encounter the greatness of God, the beauty of Creation, and the joy of belonging to the family of God.
Whether you are planning a Harvest Festival, Family VBS, weekend retreat, outreach event, or creation care program, EdenQuest: Hallelujah Mountains offers a joyful, flexible way to invite your community into deeper relationship with God and one another.
Three Biblical Truths, Six STEM Labs, and One Majestic Mountain Trek
Expedition Map - the Bible!
In Session 1, Tribe Members join Jia the Asiatic Black Bear and Uncle Li to discover that they are created with a specific purpose—just like the seeds that "go out in joy" to grow the forest. Through the Parable of the Sower (Matthew 13:3-9) and the promise of John 15:9-11, Tribe Members learn that being exactly who God made them to be brings a full and purposeful joy to the world.
In Session 2, Meilin the Clouded Leopard gets caught in a mountain storm but finds courage through Yúzé, learning that even the most overwhelming "floods" are under God's control. By exploring Mark 4:35-41, Tribe Members discover that just as Jesus spoke peace to the wind and waves, He is always present to provide stillness and safety in our own scary moments. This trek reminds every explorer to "be led forth in peace," trusting that no storm lasts forever when the Son of God is in your boat.
In Session 3, Pangoleo and Uncle Li reach the summit and hear the "Creation Song," a rhythmic heartbeat of praise where the bamboo forests and stone towers seem to join in worship. Through the story of Jesus on the Mountain (Luke 9:28-36), Tribe Members witness the glory of the Transfiguration and learn that when we listen to God’s Son, our lives become a chorus of gratitude. This final trek brings Isaiah 55:12 to life, as the mountains burst into song and the trees of the field clap their hands in a vibrant celebration of the Creator.
