Vacation Bible School is a highlight of the summer at Redeemer! 

Our campus is full of kids, teens, and adults engaged in music, laughter, learning, worship, and fun. Our halls come alive with themed decorations, storytellers in costume, and theme-based snacks. 

Pack up your gear! Redeemer's 2026 Vacation Bible School is a space mission. Join us as we gather the telescopes and prep the spaceshuttles. We will be trekking our way through the week, gearing up with the Truth of the Gospel along the way. On this page is everything you need to know.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our main VBS program is for children entering Kindergarten through 5th grade in the fall. 

Children entering Pre-K4 in the fall and whose parents are volunteering with VBS will be invited to Pre-K 4 VBS. Students in Pre-K VBS will attend the opening and closing assemblies of VBS. Their classes will follow along with the themes and fun of our main VBS program. 

The Redeemer nursery is open by reservation for children ages 3 months to 3 years old whose parents are volunteering with VBS. Nursery is offered for VBS Volunteers 9 a.m.-12 p.m. (drop off at 8:45). Please note that we have VBS themed and developmentally appropriate stories, crafts, snacks, recreation time, and activities planned for the 2's and 3's in the Nursery area.

The cost is $10 per child. Scholarships are available upon request. Contact Sara Brouillard for scholarship needs.

All volunteers must sign up to volunteer by May 17th. Please read the important information below regarding training dates and Redeemer's Child Protection Training certification requirements for VBS volunteers.

ADULT VOLUNTEERS: Adults 18 years of age and older must complete the Child Protection Training Process. This summer, many volunteer certifications completed when our policy was first put in place are about to expire and need to be renewed. Your certification must be fully updated in order to volunteer at VBS. Please contact Sara Brouillard to check on your volunteer certification status. 

Nursery is available for children whose parents are volunteering with VBS. 

YOUTH VOLUNTEERS (entering 6th grade in the fall through age 17): 

Volunteers 12 years of age and older need to complete an application and background check as part of our Child Protection Training Process. Parents should contact Oscar Palin to begin that process for a youth volunteer. 

All volunteers must be signed up to volunteer by May 17th.

Yes! We will have a set-up day at church on Sunday, June 1st, after the 11 a.m. service. Feel free to join us in setting up classrooms, decorations, and food prep that morning! Child care will be available from 9 a.m. through noon for nursery through age 5 for children whose parents are helping with set up. 

You can also help us by donating craft supplies needed for VBS or contributing to our service project for this year. 

VBS Celebration - Friday, June 5th at 11:40 a.m. 

This year to highlight the culmination of our VBS program, we will be hosting a celebration for our VBS participants, their families, and our volunteers! Join us for a recap of VBS through singing and a slide show of the week’s events! It will be held in the sanctuary at 11:40 a.m.

Things to know before you arrive for VBS  

Things to know before you arrive for VBS  

  • VBS shirts are included in the registration cost. You can pick yours up the first morning of VBS when you check in.  
  • Dress your children in clothes that can get messy. We love to have fun and sometimes messes are part of that!  
  • Please don't send any toys, extra clothes, or backpacks. We rotate throughout the building during the day and it is difficult to keep up with extra belongings. We want your kids to be free of any extra responsibilities. (But diaper bags are welcomed and encouraged in the nursery!)
Drop off and pick up  

Drop off and pick up  

  • Please arrive by 8:45 a.m. the first day to get checked in and find your correct group. There will be greeters at the registration tables to help point you where you need to go!  
  • All students must be checked in each day by an adult at our kiosks at the registration table. These are located in the foyer across from the sanctuary.  
  • After elementary-aged children are checked in at the registration table in the foyer, they may be dropped off inside the sanctuary with their group. Your child will be placed in a group according to grade level.  
  • If someone other than you will be picking up your child, please let your child's Group Leader know when you drop them off. The group leader will take down a name and phone number for the person who is picking up your child. Please text a picture of your child's check out sticker to the person picking up your child so they may show it to group leaders during check out. That person will be required to show picture ID to the group leader to verify the correct adult is picking up your child.
