Our VBS program is for children 4 years old – just completing 5th grade. Children must be fully potty-trained (able to use the bathroom independently).

The cost is $15 for the first child in the family and $10 for each additional child. 

Your registration is not complete until payment is received.  You will receive an email once your registration has been received and another email confirming payment was received and there is space available for your child/ren.

Payment can be made by:

• Check payable to Messiah Lutheran Church.  Include the name of the child/ren on the memo line.  Mail payment to VBS, Messiah Lutheran Church, 13901 Clopper Road, Germantown, MD 20874.  Payment may also be dropped off Tuesday—Thursday from 9:00 AM— 2:00 PM in the church’s main office. 
• Online payment not available.

The Family Picinic starts immediately following VBS at 12:30 p.m.  Children must be accompanied by an adult at the Family Picnic and must be picked up from VBS before they can attend.

The emergency contact should not be the same as the parent listed.  We will try to contact the parent first in an emergency.  We will allow the parents and emergency contact person to pick up your child.  If you wish to have someone else pick your child up, please provide an Alternate Pickup. 

Children are grouped by age/grade.  We will try to put children in groups with friends indicated that are of the same age if possible.
