Interested in joining the flock at Hometown Nazareth and helping kids discover what life was like for Jesus as a kid? Awesome! Here's what you need to know.

VBS is June 17th through the 21st. We ask our volunteers to arrive no later than 8:30am and they are expected to stay until about 12:45 or 1pm. Breakfast is provided starting at 8am.

Anyone entering 6th grade and above can volunteer. We do ask that volunteers under the age of 18 have a release form signed by their parents. This is available to print HERE.

We do require all our volunteers to attend a training. The dates for the training are TBD. ALL volunteers (including those under 18, are asked to attend.)

When you sign up, you will be asked where you will like to serve in VBS. This year's positions are a bit different from in the years past. Please take a moment to look at the position names and descriptions below. Please be aware that these positions are first come, first serve basis and are not promised.
