What is VBS?

Vacation Bible Spectacular is a 4 day experience for kids in the summer. For 3 hours a day kids have fun with games, crafts, and music while learning about God through storytelling and even snacks. We also have a FAMILY & FRIENDS party on that Thursday evening from 6 – 8 PM.

Who is VBS for?

VBS is for kids going into Pre-K (4 yrs) to 5th graders. We know you’ll want to send your toddlers but we’ve learned that it’s a little overwhelming for them in this environment. Youth can volunteer like an adult volunteer.  Email Jay at jayt@hopechapelsterling.org to volunteer.

what is the cost?

VBS at Hope Chapel is FREE. Yes, you read that correct … FREE. We pay for everything because we love families and don’t want money to be a barrier for this event. You already have plenty of expenses in the summer.

When is VBS?

VBS is Monday through Thursday, August 8 – 11 from 9 AM to NOON. We also have a FAMILY & FRIENDS party on that Thursday evening from 6 – 8 PM. We provide the hamburgers/hot dogs and drinks, and ask families to bring some sides. You’ll get to sign up during VBS week.

Will There Be Capacity Limits?

Although we don’t want to turn anyone away and although there are no mandated capacity limits, our facilities can best accommodate 120 kids plus volunteers. If you’d like to volunteer (7th grade and up, please email Pastor Jay at jayt@hopechapelsterling.org).

Are Masks Required?

We have maintained a policy to follow the state’s guidance and currently no masks will be mandated. You are welcome to have your child/ren wear a mask if you prefer. 

What Kind of Snacks Are Served?

We typically provide a small themed based snack that include items such as crackers, fruit, marshmallows, etc. We don’t serve nuts and can make other arrangements for allergies. Please let us know when signing up.

Are the Volunteers CORI'd?

All of our adult volunteers are CORI and SORI checked with state and national agencies. There are always at least 2 adults working together. Our teenagers also serve alongside the adults. Because of their age, teenagers do not undergo CORI or SORI checks.
