What is VBS?
VBS (Vacation Bible School) is a week long adventure in the truths of the Christian faith and a ministry to children and families both within the church and in the surrounding community.
What happens at VBS?
Each day begins with a large group presentation with music, skits, and a bible memory verse centered around a daily theme.
Then kids join with kids of their same age/grade in the daily rotation of crafts, lessons, music, outdoor games, and snacks.
The day ends with another large-group session of music, skits, and a summary of the daily teaching.
What is taught at VBS
This year’s theme is “Illumination Station!” While many people claim to know about Jesus, many are in the dark about who He really is. During VBS kids will explore all the ways light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals!
You do not need to attend our church to attend our VBS!

FAQs
What should my child bring?
For most, nothing at all! Water will be provided regularly throughout each morning. Please do NOT send a water bottle as we’ve learned from experience that these are easily lost at VBS.
What should my child wear?
Sunscreen! Please apply sunscreen before dropping off at the church. Comfortable clothing and shoes.
What if my child has an allergy/medical need?
If your child has an epi-pen or other medical device needed on-site, please do bring it! Our volunteers will carry it around with them throughout the week. If your child has an allergy requiring an action plan, please bring this completed action plan form on the first day of VBS. We will have gluten free/dairy free snacks available. If your child with an allergy would prefer to bring a snack from home, please do so.
My child is waitlisted. What should I expect?
Our physical classroom space is limited. If you signed up for a waitlist, you will be contacted by email if a spot opens up for your child(ren). If you no longer wish to be on the waitlist, please let us know! You can contact Laura at laura@nscbc.org.
Donations
VBS is free to attend, but if you would like to make a donation, you are welcome to do so. We strive to keep our expenses low: the cost per child to run our program is just $50/week.
