Thank you for blessing our volunteers each day during VBS!

THIS YEAR'S VBS MISSION PROJECT

We are excited for the opportunity to be able to bless some extra special Kids down in El Porvenir, Mexico at the Ninos de Baja orphanage. They are in desperate need of a stacked washer & dryer to be able to wash the kids clothes in the new room, called “Limon,” that our team built earlier this year. Currently, they are hanging clothes outside to dry. We are so excited to raise money to help them out!

Our goal is to raise $1500. If we are able to raise more than that, any extra funds will go towards their staple needs like shampoo, soap, toothpaste, laundry detergent, snacks, etc.

You may bring cash, check (made out to NPFCC with “VBS mission project” in memo line) or donate online...be sure to select the fund called “VBS Mission Project”

Thank you for helping us bless these awesome kids!! Lemonade stands are one of our kids favorite ways to raise funds during summer camp week!!

PLANNING AHEAD...

F.A.Q.

WHO CAN ATTEND VBS CAMP?

VBS is for ages 3.5 years through 5th grade. Children must be 3.5 years old by July 1st and fully potty trained without assistance. Registration is based on grade going into THIS FALL as we promote our kids in June, prior to VBS. Preschoolers are grouped by current age.

What about kids that just finished 5th grade?

We promote our kids in June, so they are considered 6th graders at that point. This means they will be part of our Impact Student Ministry & their awesome summer events like Summer Camp, Park Days, Beach Days, Swim Days, & Impact Wednesday nights! See our Impact Student Page for summer dates.

CAN PARENTS/GRANDPARENTS VOLUNTEER?

Absolutely, yes!! Persons 18 years or older will fill out a volunteer application form which includes a background check and follow up interview.

STEP ONE: Please fill out our volunteer interest form letting Crystal know you'd like to help out.

STEP TWO: Please complete our volunteer application, including signature on the back to authorize the background check & bring it to the church main office during the week, to Crystal in Kids Church on Sundays or simply scan & email it to her.

CAN 6TH-12TH GRADERS VOLUNTEER?

Yes! Crystal holds youth volunteer interviews first week in May. Please note, youth volunteer spots are limited & fill up very quickly, so please plan to sign up early. ALL 2026 spots are filled. Thank you to our awesome youth!

WHAT ARE YOUR DROP-OFF & PICK-UP PROCEDURES?

Both drop-off and pick-up will take place at our Auditorium ("Big Church" building). When you arrive each morning, 1st stop is at our check-in iPads just outside the Auditorium. Then, head into the Auditorium for 2nd stop check-in with our class leaders. Pick-up will be just outside the Auditorium as soon as closing assembly is finished. Parents are welcome to stay in the VIP (Very Important Parents) area to watch the opening assembly after morning drop-off. However, parents will remain outside at pick-up for the safe dismissal of our children.

WHAT IF MY CHILD HAS ALLERGIES OR SPECIAL NEEDS?

The registration form has a spot to share your child's allergies. If you have additional information or special needs you would like to share about your child, you may indicate them on your registration form or email Crystal directly.
