Kids will be challenged to answer Jesus' important question to His disciples, "Who do you say that I am?" As they explore all the ways light brightens, illuminates, reflects, and reveals, kids will discover that Jesus is the light who brings hope to a dark world. 

Jesus spoke to them again: "I am the light of the world. Anyone who follows me will never walk in the darkness but will have the light of life." John 8:12

To ensure room for Wentzville campus families and their community, we kindly ask that our St. Charles Campus families plan to attend VBS at the St. Charles campus. 

St. Charles Campus: There is a $10 per child fee with a family cap of $40. This fee helps offset the cost of supplies that are shared across campuses. Scholarships are available upon request.

Wentzville Campus: There is no fee to attend.

Preschoolers and elementary children have a large-group rally session where the theme is introduced in exciting ways and worship music takes place. (For elementary kids, this is the very first part of their day.) Kids also rotate through small groups, Bible story, games, snacks, and crafts. Preschoolers rotate through games, crafts, and missions.

St. Charles Campus: Elementary kids are dropped off in the Worship Center with their pre-assigned grade-level groups. Preschool children are dropped off in their pre-assigned classroom, located downstairs. Group and classroom assignments will be shared the week before VBS begins.

Wentzville Campus: Families will drop off their elementary-aged children in the Worship Center with their pre-assigned grade-level groups. Group assignments will be shared the week before VBS begins.

Yes! We ask that you check-in at the guest desk (St. Charles) or at the registration table (Wentzville) and wear a guest badge for that day. 

The volunteers serving during the week of VBS have gone through a background check and our VBS training event(s). Many volunteers serve regularly in our Sunday morning ministry, so your child will likely see many familiar faces! 

You have the opportunity to enter any medical allergies or concerns when you register your child for VBS. This information will be readily available to small group volunteers, as well as the kitchen staff. Your child will also have their allergy noted on their check-in name tag to further alert the volunteers to any special needs. Allergen-friendly options will be provided. 

We have a nurse on-site during our week of VBS for any medical needs that arise. We also have emergency procedures in place should anything unexpected take place.  

A pick-up receipt sticker will print when you check-in your child. Please have that pick-up receipt ready at pick-up. If you lose your pick-up receipt or if another person is picking up your child who doesn't have the receipt, please go to the guest desk in the lobby (St. Charles) or registration table (Wentzville) for assistance. Persons authorized to pick-up your child are noted on your child's registration form. A driver's license will need to be shown to the registration volunteer.

We love to have friends join us for VBS! If the friend is one grade-level different from your child, we ask that the friend registers for the same grade as your child in order to stay together. If there is more than one grade separating the friend and your child, we ask that they register for their own grade level. We would hope that all newcomers make new relationships during the week of VBS and begin to attend on Sunday mornings. If visitors register at their own grade level, they will meet others the same age who they will see again on Sunday mornings.
