Drop Off:
Drop-off will begin at 8:30 a.m. on MONDAY ONLY to accommodate first-day check-in, 8:45 a.m. Tuesday-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.
Please note: unlike prior years, there will not be a drive-thru drop-off option. Drop-off parking is available in the main church lot, across the street at Newport Harbor High School, or on nearby streets. While school parking restrictions may not be enforced during summer, please check all signs before parking. Help us be good neighbors by parking only in legal spaces and avoiding driveways, alleyways, and mailboxes.
Pick Up:
For your child’s security, we’re implementing a ticket system for pickup. When you drop off your child each 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. throughout the day. 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 Magnified Headquarters area (the Connect Center) pickup area 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 our Magnified Headquarters (near the Administration building). There will be a staff member there throughout the week, and they can help facilitate pick up.
