Friend or sibling requests are offered but not guaranteed and can only be made for 1 friend or sibling. We group VBS participants before the start of a program so we will not be able to accommodate requests made after June 9th. Siblings are not automatically grouped together. To be eligible for a request ALL of the following criteria MUST be met:

  • You must register & pay before June 9th 
  • Requests must be reciprocated by both parties
  • Participants must be the same age for the preschool program or the same grade for the elementary program 
  • Only one friend or sibling request is allowed per person, multiple requests will not be honored

T-shirts will be ordered and offered for free for those registered before June 9th. If there are extras, they will be available on a first-come, first-serve basis during the week of VBS.

VBS Music will be available to purchase during the week of VBS. We pre-order CDs based on the number of people who indicate during registration that they are interested in purchasing them so please make sure you select this option if you want one. Check or cash payments can be made at the registration desk during the week of VBS. All CD sales are on a first-come first-serve basis during the week of VBS so get your copy early!

Nursery care is available ONLY for children of VBS volunteers in the instance that the child is not old enough to enroll in the preschool program. If you register a child for the nursery and are not already registered to volunteer our team will be in touch to find out where you would like to serve at VBS!
