Vacation Bible School
June 9-12, 2025
9:30am – 12:30pm
Those who have completed kindergarten through 6th grade are invited to explore God’s Word and experience His love at VBS & VBX this year!
VBS is for Kindergarten through 4th grade.
VBX is for 5th and 6th grade.
DROP OFF/PICKUP PROCESS
Parkwood Kids has made the check-in and check-out process easy, safe, and secure. Our procedures ensure that you are quickly contacted with any issues and only parents and authorized individuals can pick up a child.
VBS (Kindergarten – 4th Grade)
CHECK IN TIMES
Check-in begins at 9:10 AM in the main lobby.
We want drop-off to be quick and smooth for everyone — and we have an easy way to make that happen!
WHERE TO DROP OFF
Drop off your child in the Worship Center. Look for signs on the seats that show the group names (Example: “Kindergarten A” or “1st Grade E”).
HOW TO DROP OFF
Save time with the Church Center App
Follow these steps to check your kids in before you even arrive:
- Download the “Church Center” app from your phone’s app store.
- Log in using your Planning Center info or create an account.
- Tap “Check-In” at the bottom left of the screen.
- Select the children attending VBS/VBX, then press “Next.”
- You’ll receive a QR code. Scan it at one of the self check-in stations in the lobby — your child’s name stickers will print automatically!
- Place the sticker on each child and keep the barcode sticker for yourself. This barcode matches your child’s sticker and will be required for pick-up. Please don’t lose it!
Helpful Tip: If you forget your child’s group, snap a quick photo of their name tag or group sign to help you remember!
Need help checking in?
No problem! Our registration team will be in the lobby ready to assist you.
Please check in each day of VBS/VBX.
