Vacation Bible School FAQs:
Who can attend Vacation Bible School at Family of Christ?
VBS is open to the whole community! There are no church membership or worship attendance requirements. Everyone is welcome!
Permission, Emergency Medical Treatment,
Photo/Video Release, and Behavior Expectations
Age: Kids age 4 (on or before the first day of VBS: June 23, 2025) to those who have completed 5th grade.
We are very strict on this policy as our preschool program will fill to capacity and have a waiting list. Our desire if for every child to experience the fun and learning of VBS, but we just don't have the space to accommodate students under the age of 4.
WAITING LIST! If your child's grade or the program registration is full, you may add your name to the WAITING LIST.
Please DO NOT register your child in any grade other than the grade that they are currently in (2024-2025). Preschoolers need to be in our preschool program in order for everyone to have a positive experience at VBS.
Should I select Preschool or Kindergarten?
Preschool includes kids ages 4 - 6 who have NOT completed Kindergarten. Please select the grade that the child is currently in when registering for VBS.
What is Club45?
We have a special separate program to create an opportunity for our 4th & 5th grade students to be in VBS, but with some additional learning, serving, leading, and learning components. This is the second time we will be offering Club45 and we are so excited for the possibilities!
Who can volunteer?
Students who have completed 6th-12th grade are welcome to volunteer as crew leaders and station assistants.
Every effort will be made to pair our 6th grade student volunteers with a high school student or an adult to serve in an apprenticing and assisting role. Adults over 18 are welcome to volunteer for any role.
I want to volunteer, but I have kids under 4!
Nursery care will be available for our volunteers who have kids 3 years old and younger. To request nursery care, complete this form:
Please note that this form is just a request. Nursery capacity is limited by classroom space and nursery volunteer availability.
What's included with the registration cost?
Registration fees include programming, supplies, and snacks for each day of True North VBS (June 23-27, 2025), as well as a t-shirt for each participant, and a music CD or download card for each participant family! We will make every effort to make the music CDs or download cards available before VBS begins.
We are able to keep the cost of VBS low because almost all of the True North VBS leaders are unpaid volunteers. Thank you for making this experience a reality for so many kids!
Is there a cost to attend True North VBS?
Vacation Bible School has a flat fee of $40.00 per child that is registered. (No early bird/family/volunteer discounts.) Payments can be made through PayPal (bank account or card) on this website or in-person (cash or check) in the church office at Family of Christ Monday-Friday 8:30 am-4:30 pm. (Enter on the east side of the building through door #1.)
VBS payment is due by May 1, 2025. Unpaid registrations will be cancelled.
Can we get a refund if we can no longer attend?
Registration fees will be 90% refunded for cancellations received before May 1. We retain 10% because of the PayPal fees to receive payments. Cancellations between May 2 and June 1, will receive a 50% refund, and any cancellation after June 2 is non-refundable.
