VBS 2023 – Twists & Turns
June 5-9 | 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a fun-filled spiritual adventure that focuses on Bible study and life application for children age 5-Grade 5.
This summer, kids will learn how following Jesus changes the game. As the One through whom all things were created, He’s not only the ultimate guide through the twists and turns of life, He’s also the Head of the winning team. They’ll learn that He is holy, trustworthy, forgiving, worth following, and He came for everyone. That means He wants everyone to follow Him to victory!

VOLUNTEER INFORMATION
Why should I volunteer at VBS?
You don’t have time to read ALL the reasons, so here are our four favorites:
- VBS is the single largest evangelistic event we hold all year. Children from all over the area, both churched and unchurched, will come, and we have the opportunity to both show them and tell them how much Jesus loves them.
- Because you’ll be at VBS, you’ll be able to have conversations with your own child about what happened that morning, what he or she learned, what game he or she played in rec, and more.
- You could serve in your own child’s class and get to know his or her peers.
- When you invite neighbors to VBS, you can assure them you’ll be in the building if they need anything.
Will I get stuck doing hours of planning, or decorating, or something I really don’t want to do?
When you complete the volunteer registration, you’ll have the opportunity to tell us where and how you’re available to serve. If you have any questions about what a particular role will look like, we’ll be happy to help explain that so you can make an informed decision about your VBS role before making a commitment. I do hope you will prayerfully consider being a part of our 2023 VBS team!
Please note: ALL volunteers MUST be Church at Station Hill church members or regular attendees and MUST complete a background check as well as the online Volunteer Registration Form (Click the volunteer registration link below to complete the Registration Form).

WHAT TO EXPECT THE DAY OF VBS
Below, you’ll find information on what to expect when you drop-off and pick-up your children from VBS.
PARKING
Our parking lot team will show you where to park when you arrive.
ARRIVAL
When you arrive, follow the blue and green flags to enter through the main doors. If you have any questions when you arrive, you can find anyone wearing a red VBS t-shirt and they will be glad to help however they can.
CHECK-IN/DROP-OFF
Check-in and drop-off begin at 8:45 a.m.
To check in your child:
- Go to one of the check-in computer kiosks in the atrium. Enter your phone number, select your children’s names, and hit print.
- The computer will print two nametags for each child. One is for you to keep, and the other should be put on your child’s clothing.
- In addition to the nametag, you will also receive a wristband for each child. This is an extra layer of security in case you or your child misplaces a nametag.
- After checking in your child, chat with others until the doors to the worship center open at 8:45 a.m. Please escort your child to the row of seats labeled with your child’s class name (For example: KB =”Kindergarten B”).
PICK-UP
Pick-up will begin at 12:00 p.m. To ensure the safety and security of the children attending VBS, parents will enter in groups of 10-12 to pick up their children from the worship center. A wristband or nametag (or photo of nametag) MUST be presented to pick-up your child. Please do not remove nametags or wristbands until you have left the building. Nametags and wristbands will be checked when you pick-up your child from their class and again before you leave the building.

VBS FAQ
What is VBS?
Vacation Bible School (VBS) is a fun-filled spiritual adventure that focuses on Bible study and life application for children from age 5 – grade 5 (Age 5 on or before August 15).
It’s just one week—is VBS that valuable?
Attending one week at VBS is the time equivalent of attending Sunday morning groups for six months! And because learners are immersed in the biblical content for an extended period of time each day, they have even more opportunities to learn through repetition using games, snacks, music, and more.
