SUMMARY:Vacation Bible School 2026
DESCRIPTION:Vacation Bible School\nJune 8–12, 2026 • 8:45–11:45 a.m.\nGather to Green Pastures • Registration is Now Open • Kindergarten – 8th grade\nFollow the Shepard to Ankeny Baptist Church’s Vacation Bible School this June!\nThis year’s theme is Emerald Crossing, where kids will travel to green pastures and still waters in Psalm 23 and learn what it means to truly trust God with your life. Each day will be packed with fun activities with games, crafts, music, snacks, and Bible lessons that teach your kids that in every season of life, Jesus loves them.\nRegister Now\n\nWe Have a New Middle School Class!\nOpen to 7th – 8th Grade\nThis year, we’re expanding our VBS experience to include teenagers entering 7th and 8th grade. Bring your teen this summer for an unforgettable week of fun, faith, and community, tailored to their season in life.\n\n \n\nFrequently Asked Questions\nWhen is VBS?\nJune 8-12, 2026 from 8:45-11:45 AM\nAt what age can my child participate in VBS?\nABC VBS is available for children entering Kindergarten through entering eighth grade in the fall of 2026.\nHow do I know into which class I should register my child?\nRegister your child with the grade they are just finishing, but select the class for the grade they will enter in the fall.\nFor example: Mary is currently in 3rd grade.  Mary is registered as a 3rd grader in the Junior girls class (4th-6th grade).\nIf I invite a friend, can they be in the same class as my child?\nWhen your friend registers, they may enter your child’s name as the person who invited them in the designated section. We will do our best to put them in the same class.\nCan I register my child on the first day of VBS?\nWe strongly encourage advance online registration. However, walk-in registration is accepted based on availability.\nAm I able to cancel my child’s registration should our plans change?\nIf your plans have changed, and your child is unable to attend VBS, you can go back into your registration via the link in the confirmation email and cancel their registration.\nWhat does child drop-off/pick-up look like the week of VBS?\nALL children must be checked in and picked up by a parent/guardian.  Each morning a parent/guardian must bring the child into the building to check them in.  The parent/guardian will receive a parent code that will be needed to pick up the child at the end of each day.\nDo you serve food during the week of VBS?\nEach day the kids will receive a snack.  Our kitchen staff pays close attention to any allergies that are listed at registration and will prepare an allergy-free snack for those children. If your child has an allergy and you would like to send a prepared snack for them, you are welcome to do so. \nWhat does a day at VBS look like?\nVacation Bible School at Ankeny Baptist Church is a morning filled with Bible stories, games, snacks, crafts/science experiments, missionary stories, songs and a whole lot of fun.  This year we will be on an Irish adventure through Psalm 23, discovering the faithfulness of our Good Shepherd.\nWhat does my child need to bring to VBS?\nThere is nothing that your child is required to bring.  However we encourage the kids to bring a Bible to be able to follow along during lesson time.  We also have a competition between the boys and the girls to bring in the most offering for our missionaries of the week.\n\n
