Frequently Asked Questions

How much does VBS cost?

VBS is completely free. Registration helps us plan meals, crafts, t-shirts, and small-group sizes.

What ages can attend?

Kids who are starting kindergarten through completed sixth grade.

What are the dates and times?

Monday through Friday evenings, 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM. Check-in opens at 5:45 PM. July 6 - 10.

Do I need to stay with my child?

Parents are welcome to stay but not required. Every child is assigned to a Crew with a trained Crew Leader, who walks with them between stations.

What about food allergies?

List all allergies on the registration form. Our kitchen team plans around them; you can also send a labeled snack from home if you'd prefer.

What does my child need to bring?

Nothing required — just comfortable clothes that can get a little messy. We'll send a packing reminder a few days before VBS starts. Plan to get WET on Friday!

How do I volunteer?

Fill out the volunteer sign-up form. We have roles for adults (18+) and youth helpers (12–17). Adult volunteers complete a background check and Ministry Safe training before VBS week.

Where is VBS held?

Lithia Springs Methodist Church. Check-in is in the Children's Building on the left side of the church.

What if my child has a friend who isn't a member of the church?

Bring them! All are welcome at VBS and this is for every child in the community. Just have their parents fill out a registration form.

Will photos be taken?

Yes — we take group photos and candid shots for church communications. There's a photo release checkbox on the registration form; if you opt out, we'll make sure your child isn't pictured.
