The Parkside Insider: March 31, 2023
This June, VBC kids will embark on a time-traveling adventure where they will discover the God of the Bible as the rightful King, who reigned before the world began and will reign throughout all of eternity.
 
We are seeking 250 adult and student volunteers to join us on this adventure!

Some of our volunteer areas include:
  • small groups 
  • crafts
  • greeters
  • music
  • outdoor recreation 
Whether you enjoy working with children directly, or helping behind the scenes, there are plenty of places for you to use your gifts.

FREE Nursery/Mini-VBC care is provided for all children ages birth-3 years old whose parents serve at VBC!

We ask that adult helpers be either members of Parkside or regular attendees for a minimum of six months. Student helpers should have completed sixth grade.

*Parents, please note that registration for campers will open on May 1.
