​Details

Here are a few important details we want everyone to know:
  • ​VBS is Monday-Friday, August 12-16 from 9:00 – 11:30 AM. Please check-in your child at the registration table between 8:50 – 9:00 and check-out at 11:30 AM.
  • VBS is absolutely FREE. This is our gift to you and your child.
  • All children ages 4-11 by August 12 can participate. We cannot accommodate any children under 4 years of age.
  • Preteens and teenagers ages 12-18 may apply to serve as crew leaders. Crew leaders may also register here.
  • Our Closing Celebration date is yet to be determined. Bring the whole family and join us for a time of family fun with field games and lunch on the grill followed by a special presentation by your child!
  • Each year we participate in a mission project, so we can put the Gospel of Jesus Christ into action. Please look for a letter to come home with your child on Monday explaining this year’s mission project.
  • VBS will be an active and fun environment, so please dress children in comfortable play clothes. Closed toed shoes preferred.

Space is limited for our 2019 VBS, so please thoroughly complete the registration as soon as possible. To register your child use the link at the top of this page.

Safety 

Your child’s safety is of great importance to us. For this reason, every child participating in VBS must be signed in and out at the registration table each day of VBS. Children may not be dropped off by themselves and they will not be released to meet you in the parking lot. We will only release your child to the specific adults authorized for pick-up on the registration form. You will need to show picture ID at the registration table to pick up your child. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but we, like you, want to be certain each child is kept safe!

​Volunteer Information

  • Our VBS Decorating Party is Friday, August 9 from 6:00-8:00 PM. We can really use your help!
  • VBS is Monday-Friday, August 12-16 from 9:00 – 11:30 AM. Members of our VBS Team need to be in the sanctuary no later than 8:40 AM each day for team prayer and announcements (8:30 AM on Monday). You can expect to leave by 11:45 AM. On Friday, we ask our VBS Team to please stay for lunch and to help us tear down the decorations; you can anticipate finishing by 2 PM.
  • Our Closing Celebration time is yet to be determined. VBS families (including yours!) are invited to join us for a time of family fun with field games and lunch on the grill followed by a special presentation by each VBS age group. We hope our Team members will make every effort to participate in the Closing Celebration, as your kids count on you to help them present their piece of the Celebration.
  • Anyone, regardless of past participation, who wishes to serve on our VBS Team must take part in a mandatory training session. At the session we will lay out the plan for VBS, introduce our staff, offer helpful insight in working with children, and discuss Team responsibilities and expectations.

  • Training is mandatory. If you cannot attend this training, but still want to participate as a crew leader, contact Carol Tracy at the church office and we will attempt to offer an individualized training option.
