Everyone has a part

Order Up! takes place in the kitchen of a busy restaurant.

Each morning serves up one Bible truth, starting with this one: God welcomes me.

Each morning

Kids move through six stops, from live music and skits to team games and snacks.

  • Live music and skits
  • Bible lessons
  • Team games
  • Hands-on crafts
  • Snacks
  • Time to make friends

Four mornings, four orders

  1. Your place is set

    Order #1

    Start with belonging. Every child has a place, and no one needs to be the same as everyone else.

    God welcomes me.

    9 AM to noon

  2. You have something to share

    Order #2

    Explore the different gifts God gives us and the small ways we can use them to help others.

    God has given me gifts.

    9 AM to noon

  3. We all serve together

    Order #3

    Learn to listen, help and make room for one another.

    We can show God’s love together.

    9 AM to noon

  4. Take God’s love with you

    Order #4

    Look for ways to show love and serve at home, at school and wherever we go next.

    I can follow Jesus each day.

    9 AM to noon

A teal kitchen serving window with warm copper lamps, a chef hat and a wooden spoon on the counter, and the shadowed outlines of characters still to be revealed behind it.

Meet the cast

    We’re on Nees Avenue between Clovis and Sunnyside. Park in the main lot off Preuss Drive. Families register in the pavilion, the covered outdoor space between the sanctuary and The Bridge.

    Get directions to New Hope (opens in a new tab)

  • Who can come?

    VBS is for children in kindergarten through 6th grade, and it’s free. Your family doesn’t need to attend New Hope. There’s no program for younger siblings during VBS.

  • Can my child come for only some of the mornings?

    We hope your child can come all four mornings, since each one has its own lesson. If you can only make some of them, your child is still welcome.

  • How do we register?

    Online registration opens in 2027. Get VBS updates, and we’ll let you know when it opens.
