FAQ

We are here to help answer any of your questions! Email our team with questions about our upcoming VBS.

Drop Off:

Drop-off will begin at 8:45 a.m. Monday-Friday. Each morning, parents will need to park and drop off their VBS kids  in the Sanctuary with their Group Leader.  Groups are identified by a color and number.  Greeters will be available to guide you.  

Pick Up:

For your child’s security, we’re implementing a ticket system for pickup. When you drop off your child Monday morning, you’ll receive a pickup slip that matches your child’s name tag. Please keep this slip with you for the entire week.  The only way to pick up your child is with this ticket or a clear photo of it on your phone. This system helps us ensure every child goes home with an authorized person. If you lose your slip, please bring a photo ID to the Connect Center  and our staff will assist you. As we promised, safety first! 

After closing worship, parents (or their designee) can pick up children from their group leaders in the Sanctuary, where you’ll sign them out on their sign-out sheet at 12:00 p.m. Remember: you (or your designated pick-up person) will need to present your child’s Planning Center pickup slip (or a digital copy) in order to pick up your child. 

Early Pick Up:

If you need to pick your child up early, please come to the Connect Center. There will be a staff member there throughout the week, and they can help facilitate pick up.
