Registration

There will be a registration desk available each night of the VBS program. However, online registration is open and available for anyone to register. We HIGHLY ENCOURAGE everyone to register online ahead of time. This will help us organize children into their groups prior to the start of VBS, and will also help speed up the check in process each night. Online registration forms are available from the main page of this VBS website. Just click here to get back to the home page or use the links below. There are two registration options available:

1. Participant Registration (click here): This is for Parents/Children.

2. Volunteer Registration (click here): This is for anyone interested in helping out with VBS in any capacity. This includes group leaders, kitchen staff, audio/visual, praise team, and soooo much more. Parents are more than welcome to sign up as a volunteer as well.

Registration Instructions

Please keep the below details in mind when going through the online registration process:

  • Fields marked with a red asterisk (*) are required and cannot be left blank. You will not be able to submit the form until all required fields are filled in.

Parents

  • While your child's birth date is not required, we do ask that you please enter your child's birth year at a minimum. This will help us determine their age so we can take that into consideration when assigning children to the various groups.
  • Children 3yrs old and younger must have a parent and/or guardian with them at all times and escort them with the child's assigned group.
  • If you have multiple children attending, please make sure to scroll all the way down to the bottom of the participant registration page and click Add Another Participant after entering the information for your first child.
  • If you would like to keep siblings/family/friends together in the same group, just notify us using the comment section or in person at the registration desk.
  • Please be sure to provide details on allergies or medical conditions the VBS staff should be aware of. If neither applies to your child, please enter "N/A" for those questions.

Volunteers

  • For a detailed description of each position, please click here. If you still need additional information about any of the positions or simply want to know how you can help, please call or text us using the contact info found at the top of this page (click the phone icon).
  • Please note that you are able to select multiple options from the drop down box with the list of available positions. That will help us determine where best to place you according to our needs.
  • If selecting more than one option from the list of available positions, please use the comments section at the bottom of the form to let us know your preferred volunteer position. We cannot guarantee that you will be assigned to your preferred position, but we will make a best effort to do so.
  • While your birth date is not required, we do ask that you please enter your birth year at a minimum. There is no minimum or maximum age to be able to volunteer, however this information will help us make sure that our younger volunteers are paired up with adult volunteers (where applicable).
  • All volunteers that are age 18 and older MUST complete a safety training and background check online. This is not optional. Please click here to complete your safety training and background check.

NOTE: You do NOT need to retake this training if you have previously completed the training within the past 3 years. If you need to verify your training status, please call or text us using the contact info found at the top of this page (click the phone icon).
