What Does The 5/6 Do?
Each Sunday during the third service we hang out play some games, get to know each other, and talk about Scripture. We meet on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. in the gym to have snacks and play creative, team-building games! The 5/6 meets on Sunday evenings at 6:00 p.m. and Sunday mornings at 11:00 a.m.

Disciple students in grades 5 and 6 as a leader in The 5/6. You can jump in and serve weekly or bi-weekly on Sunday mornings during the 11:00 a.m. service, on Sunday nights at 6:00 p.m., or both!
Volunteer in AWANA
September 14 – May 3 | 6:00 – 8:00 | Village Church of Bartlett
AWANA meets Monday nights during the school year to engage in large-group teaching, small-group discipleship, and game time. AWANA wouldn’t be possible without an amazing team of volunteers to pour into the kids each week. As a volunteer, you can sign up to be with Cubbies (Ages 3-4), Sparks (Grades K-2), or T&T (Grades 3-6), which are described above. We also need volunteers to serve with administration, join our special needs team, or fill in as subs! Our volunteers also receive a discount code for registering their students in AWANA as a token of our thanks.

Vacation Bible School 2026
July 20 -24 | Village Church of Bartlett
We are pleased to announce this year’s VBS theme Agency D3! In today’s world, kids are pressured on all sides to accept what teachers, friends, and society tell them about Jesus. But they don’t need to fall under that pressure! At Agency D3, they will become secret agents and investigate for themselves! Kids will spend the week collecting evidence about the life of Jesus by examining eyewitness accounts, physical proof, and biblical records. They will discover the facts about who Jesus is, decide what to do with the evidence they’ve gathered, and gain the confidence they need to step out in faith and defend what they believe! VBS is open to Preschool – 6th Grade students.
Volunteer at Vacation Bible School 2026
July 20 -24 | Village Church of Bartlett
We are looking for both adults and students (7th Grade+) to facilitate VBS. You help by decorating, preparing snacks, running outdoor activities, leading small groups, playing with babies, and so much more. Not only will you have the chance to use your talents and skills to the glory of God, but you will also have the opportunity to form lasting connections with fellow volunteers and children alike. Volunteers like you create amazing experiences for our kids and students to learn more about our good God.
Find a curated list of resources compiled for parents of young children and students. On the Training For Parents page, you will find technology resources (including a Family Tech and Cell Phone Agreement), book recommendations, video training from Making Young Disciples classes, and much more. It is our prayer that these resources will equip you to provide ongoing discipleship for the children and students in your home.
