Information
Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a fun-filled summer program offered by the church to connect with families and children in their community. With engaging activities like music, games, and interactive lessons, VBS is a great way to make new friends and deepen your understanding of the Christian faith. Join us for an unforgettable experience!
Every child from kindergarten to 6th grade is welcome to participate in the VBS. If you have a child who is older than that and would still like to attend, they are welcome to do so, but please note that the program is specifically designed for the mentioned age group.
NO. VBS is free of cost for all attendees, and our goal is to make this experience accessible to as many people as possible. Even if the event is free you must register all attendees so we can plan food and all the goods for them.
During the VBS program, we kindly ask parents to arrive at least 15 minutes before the start time, in order to complete the check-in process. This includes printing a label for the child and their designated pick-up person. Please note that no child will be released without a printed label. At dismissal, parents are asked to come inside and pick up their child with the printed label.
As an extension of our check-in/check-out process, we want to emphasize that for added safety, all doors will be locked during the event and only staff members will be permitted to enter with permission. We also have a dedicated security team and 24/7 camera monitoring to ensure the safety and well-being of all participants.
Certainly! You are more than welcome to invite friends to join us. However, we kindly request that they also register beforehand to ensure that we have the final number so everyone can enjoy the goods. This helps us ensure a seamless and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
Our space are prepared to receive your child. Our facilities are designed to accommodate the needs of all our guests, and we take pride in providing a comfortable and convenient experience. We offer a range of amenities to ensure that everyone feels welcome and cared for, including restrooms for both males and females, a nursery room equipped with a baby change station, and ample parking for your convenience. We also have wheelchair accessibility throughout our facility to ensure that all of our guests can easily navigate our space.
