Ways to Get Involved
There are three primary ways to support Neighborhood VBS:
- Prayer: Commit to praying for the host homes, the serve team, and specifically the hearts of the children attending.
- Serve Team: Overview of the roles available (Storytellers, Worship, Games, Crafts, Small Groups, and Student Helpers).
- Wishlist: We are collecting Target or Amazon gift cards, basic supplies, snacks, and water. Download the wishlist here and drop your donations off any given Sunday or at the church offices before June 17th.
- Giving: Monetary donations can be made directly via citylineonline.org to help offset the cost of curriculum and supplies.
Serve Team Opportunities
Neighborhood VBS is not possible without YOU. Here are the different roles you can fill as we go into the neighborhoods to help kids discover and follow Jesus!!!
- VBS Host Home - Open your yard or patio to serve as the local hub for the week. You provide the space and basic amenities while we bring the program to your doorstep.
- Storyteller - Bring the Bible to life by sharing the daily lessons in an engaging, creative way. You’ll help kids connect personally with the message of Jesus through narrative and props.
- Worship Leader - Lead the high-energy musical portion of the day with singing and motions. Your role is to set the atmosphere and encourage every child to participate in celebrating Jesus.
- Games Leader - Organize and facilitate fun, active outdoor activities that build community and burn off energy. You’ll ensure everyone plays safely and follows the rules of the game.
- Crafts Guide - children through hands-on projects that reinforce the day’s lesson. You’ll help them express their creativity while making something tangible to take home.
- Small Group Leader - Mentor a consistent group of kids by facilitating discussions and helping them navigate the day's schedule. You are the primary point of connection and encouragement for your specific group.
- Student Helper - Assist adult leaders with various tasks, from handing out snacks to helping younger kids with crafts. This is a great role for students looking to serve and gain leadership experience.
