Does my child need to bring anything?
Although they may be ask to bring things to earn points, your child is not required to bring anything to participate.
Is it okay if we can't make it every night?
Absolutely! We would love to see your child at every night possible, but understand the busyness of the modern family schedule. Below you can find the memory verses they will be working on so that your child can stay up to date, even if they miss a night.
Where do I drop off my children?
Please bring your child in through the main doors and to the registration table.. After confirmation of registration, your child will be directed to the general assembly in the auditorium. As a parent or guardian, you may feel free to sit and observe everything as long as your presence is not a disruption to the class, the children, or your child.
Where do I pick up my children?
Dismissed from the auditorium. Please let the worker standing outside the auditorium know the name of your child, so they can dismiss them at the next break in the closing activities.
How does my child earn points?
Your child can earn points for their team through attendance, bringing their Bible, bringing guests, wearing their team colored shirt, bringing their SBT bag, participating in our nightly theme and saying their Bible verses from memory.
Do I have to pay anything?
VBS is free to your children and any of their guests! Each night we will be taking up a penny offering to be sent to a missionary working overseas. There is no pressure to participate.
Do I need to pre-register?
Pre-registration is not a requirement, you can register at the door on every night.
Pre-registration will save you time at check-in and helps us ensure that each class is adequately staffed. Please help us plan by registering!

BONUS VERSES
GIVE KIDS ANSWERS TO THEIR QUESTIONS
Every day, our kids are bombarded with questions: Did God really create everything? Why do bad things happen? Was Noah’s ark real? Why do I need to be saved? Can I trust the Bible?
At this VBS, your kids will explore the biblical answers to these questions as they set off on an epic adventure from Genesis to Revelation. Amid sloths, butterflies, river dolphins, and dart frogs, your children will sail along on a fun jungle cruise, stopping at seven ports of call. These ports are the 7 C’s of History: Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation. Kids will discover how these events shape our world, and they will learn to reconnect the Bible to their everyday life.
Prepare to swing into fun as we head out on The Great Jungle Journey!
Monday: YAD SDRAWKCAB - Everyone wears clothes backwards, inside-out, mis-matched, or upside-down. Any confusing combination works!
