Outback Rock Two Day VBS

Outback Rock Two Day VBS

At Outback Rock VBS, kids venture into solid faith and discover God’s powerful presence in everyday life! Your 4 year old - 5th grader is invited to register for this fun and meaningful two day experience that will be held on Friday, February 28th from 6-9:15PM and Saturday, March 1st from 8:30AM - Noon.

Your First Visit

From babies six weeks old to 5th graders, our team wants to give your family an excellent experience.

When you arrive, our team will happily show you the way to the children’s area. You’ll go to the first-time check-in station where you can tell us a little about your family to help us serve you well. On our check-in form, we’ll ask you things like what allergies your child may have, how many children are in your family, and get your contact information.

Then you and your child will both get a sticker with a matching code on it. This sticker is also what you’ll use to pick up your child after service. If for any reason we need to reach you during the service, we’ll display the sticker code on the digital displays on either side of the stage. Please have this sticker ready when you enter the children’s building at the end of service.

Our volunteers - we call them Difference Makers - are screened, background checked and trained before serving in our kids ministry. We work hard to provide a safe, clean environment with excellent care of your child.

PARTNERING WITH PARENTS 

We believe the best way we can help your kids develop a strong spiritual foundation is by partnering with you. Together, we can help encourage, train, and pray for them as they grow in their faith. We’re praying they become resilient disciples of Jesus! To come alongside families we offer classes throughout the year for parents to attend with their child.

  • Starting Point helps kids know what it means to follow Jesus.

  • Baptism Class for Kids helps them know what baptism is, when to be baptized, and what to expect.

  • Graduation Celebration is a class taught by our Essential Kids and Essential Youth leaders as kids graduate kids ministry and move into youth ministry.

  • We also have a class for parents who are ready to have their child dedicated at Essential. This class helps prepare you for the journey of pointing your child to Christ.

Here are some practical ways you can help us make the most of your child’s time spent at church:

  • Pick a consistent service time to help your kids build a relationship with their leader and other kids their age.

  • Practice the current scripture memorization with your kids.

  • Stay connected to Essential Kids by following us on Facebook and Instagram.

  • Build relationships with other Essential parents - Join a Small Group.

  • Pray for your children each week as they come to church, and pray for our teams as they serve and care for your kids.
