Children are assigned to groups according to the grade most recently completed. Their individual team assignments will be available upon check-in on the first day of VBS.

 

Where do I pick up my child’s t-shirt?
Beginning Sunday, June 18, parents of registered children can pick up their children’s t-shirts at the Children’s Ministry Entrance.

Pick up before or after services on Sundays and Wednesdays or during regular business hours (M-F, 9:00-5:00).

Shirts will also be available for pick up on the first day of VBS.

We cannot exchange sizes.

We cannot guarantee t-shirt availability for those registering later than June 12.

Doors will open at 8:40 am and VBS will begin promptly at 9:00 am.

Students attending the Special Needs Ministry VBS should enter and exit through the Children’s Ministry Entrance.

All others should enter and exit through West Entrance.

There will be sign-in kiosks at each drop-off location. If you have several children, you may sign them in at one kiosk.

Clear signage will be available to direct you to your child’s group in the Sanctuary.

Doors will open at approximately 12:00 pm for pick-up.

Children must be signed out and will be released only to those individuals authorized for pick-up on the registration form.

 

Is my friend/neighbor permitted to pick up my child?

Anyone picking up a child must be listed on the child’s registration form.

If you need to make changes after the form has been submitted, please email vbs@cornerstonechapel.net.

 

Can I pick up my child early?
Children are involved in many activities and often rotating throughout the building. For this and other security reasons, early pickups are discouraged.

Does my child need to bring a snack?
A daily snack is provided. Please do not bring a snack unless necessary for allergy reasons.

 

Is the environment allergy safe?
We try to avoid common allergens when selecting snacks, but we cannot guarantee the selection will be free of all possible allergens.

If your child has a food allergy or other dietary medical condition, we must be made aware at the time of registration.

You may supply one snack item for your child per day.

This snack item will be carried by your child’s Coach in his/her daily bag. Please give the item to the Coach upon arrival.

Please make sure your child understands that they are not to eat anything other than what you have supplied.

Am I able to observe while VBS is in session?
For the safety of all children and volunteers, no one is permitted to remain in the building except approved and background-checked volunteers, our Safety Team, and church staff.

 

Is there a dress code?
We ask that children and volunteers wear sneakers, the VBS T-shirt, and modest length shorts.

 

What is the 2022 VBS Mission Project?
We will be collecting items to support local food banks.

Do I have to attend Cornerstone Chapel to volunteer?
Attending Cornerstone is not necessary to volunteer, but we do require:

A completed volunteer registration form, found here.

A background check (we will send you a link to complete your background check after you complete the volunteer form).
