Question 1

What measurements are taken to ensure the safety of the children?

Accepted Answer

All volunteers are members of our church and have been extensively reviewed by pastoral leadership. Each class also has a teacher who has worked with youth in a professional setting.
 
In addition, all volunteers have gone through a mandatory ministry training provided by the VBS leaders. Each unit of our building will have at least one First Aid and CPR trained adult. Each teacher supervises the checking in and checking out of the children and only one entrance to our facility will be open during VBS hours and will be supervised.

Question 5

When is registration?

Accepted Answer

Pre-registration will begin on April 7 and ends on May 19.
 
Registration will continue throughout VBS week but those who do not register by May 19 will not receive a shirt.

Question 6

Will I receive a shirt if I don’t pre-register?

Accepted Answer

As long as you register BEFORE May 19, your child should receive a t-shirt. If you register at any point after that (and if any extra shirts are available), they will be given on a first come first serve basis.

Question 7

What if my child can’t come everyday?

Accepted Answer

We highly encourage that your child attends the full week, as each day covers a new lesson from God's word! However, we understand that a week-long commitment is not always doable, so you are welcome to have your child come to as many days as you would like. If possible, please let your child's teachers know at the start of VBS week what days they will not be in attendance.

Question 8

What if my child needs transportation?

Accepted Answer

Some transportation will be provided by the VBS staff. Transportation is limited and will be provided on a first-come, first-serve basis.
To arrange transportation and for more information on transportation, please call or text (909) 896-6093.
For the CFBC transportation procedure, see our Child Protection Policy.

Accepted Answer

Question 12

Can I stay with my child?

Accepted Answer

Adults may stay on campus if they are registered in the adult class, and may pull their child out in case of an emergency or if absolutely needed. However, it is discouraged for parents to stay in the children’s classroom for an extended amount of time, as to not disrupt the flow of the lessons or activities.

Question 13

Can I buy an extra VBS shirt?

Accepted Answer

VBS shirts are only ordered based on the amount of registrants we have. As they are purchased in limited quanitites, it is unlikely that there will be any leftover shirts. However, any extras will be sold at the end of VBS week for $5 each.

At 8:30am, all students will gather in the sanctuary for the morning assembly of singing and dancing.
