Job Descriptions

There are so many different (and important) jobs at VBS! 

Crew Leaders

Station Leaders

Opening

    key Bible verse, and songs each day.

    Bible Points. In addition to fun praise songs, kids sing at
    least one song each day that specifically ties to that day’s
    Bible Point.

    reminder that God is at work and God is good every day!

Snacks

    version of the handout and snack experience.

Background Checks

In order to keep our kids safe, our background check coordinator makes sure that all volunteers have undergone a criminal background check.

Volunteer Coordinator

The volunteer coordinator organizes assignments for volunteers and makes sure that all positions are filled nightly. The coordinator is also a go-to person in the event of any help a volunteer might need at VBS.

Registration

Our registration leader makes sure that all children are properly signed up and assigned to crews. If a child wants to switch crews, ALL changes are approved by the registration coordinator. It is important to know where all children are while at VBS.
