"Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." — Hebrews 12:1

For one unforgettable week, Nevill's Chapel turns into a full-speed race shop. Kids join a pit team, tear through games and crafts, sing at full volume, and take the green flag on the greatest adventure there is — following Jesus. It's our biggest week of the year for children in Mt. Pleasant and beyond, and every lap points to Him. Whether your family has been here for years or you've never set foot in the door, there's a spot on the starting grid for your child.

Parent FAQ

Who can come?

Any child from age 3 (potty-trained) through the 6th grade they just completed. You do not have to be a member — invite the neighbors! Kids are placed on a team by their grade.

How much does it cost?

DRIVE! VBS is completely free. There's no cost to register or attend — it's our gift to the community.

Do I need to register ahead of time?

Please do — it helps us plan teams, snacks, crafts, and leaders, and it gives us your emergency and allergy information ahead of time. Fill out one form per child. Walk-ups are welcome too, but pre-registering makes drop-off on Day 1 much faster.

What time does it start and end each day?

DRIVE! runs each evening from 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM, Sunday July 5 through Thursday July 9. Come a few minutes early on Day 1 to check in your racer.

What about allergies or medications?

The registration form asks about allergies, medications, and any special needs so our team is prepared to care for your child. If anything changes, just let a leader know at drop-off.

Who is allowed to pick up my child?

Only the parents/guardians and the additional adults you name on the registration form. Safety is our top priority — our leaders are screened and children are released only to authorized adults.

What should my child wear?

Comfortable, active play clothes and closed-toe shoes. For extra fun, join the daily Dress-Up Days — from team colors to checkered flags to a crazy-bright Victory Lane finale.

Will you take photos?

We love to celebrate the week with photos and video. The registration form includes a simple photo/video permission question so you're always in control.
