VBX 2025 - Live it Out!
Welcome to VBX 2025 Family Style…a place where kids bring their parents to learn about what you can do to change the world around you!
During VBX, families will learn how to love like Jesus! John 13:34 says, "I give you a new command. Love one another. You must love one another, just as I have loved you."
At Good Shepherd, we value families and believe that some of the best spiritual development happens within the home. Families worship, learn, and have an exciting time together!

When: June 9-11, 2025 from 6:30 - 8:30 PM
(dinner is from 5:15 - 6:15 PM)

What should we expect?
Large group time with engaging worship, Bible stories and more! Fun stations to roam through that will include crafts, game time with inflatables and a prayer experience.
PLUS…every child will get a FREE official VBX 2025 t-shirt and a special prize each night for completing the stations!! If that’s not enough, we’ve even got a light dinner covered each night before the fun starts!

Nursery
The GS Nursery is for children birth to age three and is open during all Sunday services. If your child is not quite ready to leave you, we have a secure area in the nursery lobby with couches and a live service feed for those with babies and children who might get fussy. We also have a Nursing Mother's Suite in this area for moms who need privacy.
GS Nursery volunteers are background checked and highly trained to ensure the safest possible environment for your little one. Parents are given a pager to wear while their babies are in the nursery should he or she become fussy and need you.

Children Who Benefit from Extra Support
We believe every child should have the opportunity to learn about Jesus in a way that is accessible, engaging, and supportive. For families of children with special needs or those who benefit from additional assistance, we currently offer two accommodations designed to help your child thrive in our ministry environments.
Our Sensory Zone (Sundays at 10:30 AM) provides a calm, structured space for children who benefit from a unique environment tailored to their sensory or learning needs. This space is designed to reduce overstimulation while still offering meaningful spiritual engagement with the help of specially trained volunteers. We also offer Buddies (Sundays at 10:30 AM)—one-on-one volunteers who are specially trained to support children during our children’s ministry programming. Buddies help ensure your child can participate in a way that feels safe and empowering.
Both accommodations are available for children in 5th grade and younger. To ensure we can provide the best support possible, we require families to meet with our team and share important information about their child before they are able to participate in the Sensory Zone or being paired with a Buddy. We are committed to continuing to grow in this area and look forward to expanding our accommodations in the future.
