FAQs (FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS):
What should we expect? You'll get to experience 7 different "treat trails" with 80 indoor trick-or-treating stations! Each treat trail is themed for fun and filled with bright, colorful stations like 100 Grand Canyon, Mt. Gushmore, Starburst Universe, Caramel Apple Orchard, and Jellybean Jungle! You'll be sure to enjoy the sights, sounds, and even smells of the season and find candy around every corner!
How do I sign up? Click on the link above, it will take you to the sign up page. Answer 3 quick questions and it will give you a barcode for quick check-in that night. On the night of the event, head to the TENT in front of the Worship Center. Check in there to receive your wristbands (one per person). Once you have your wristbands on, you can access either building and all the treat trails!
What candy safety precautions are you taking? We take kids' safety seriously. All candy has been purchased long in advance from stores by our staff. No candy was donated or purchased by or from unknown entities. Our team that is preparing the candy for each station (opening bags, counting, and versing candy) has also gone through a volunteer certification process.
Why do you put Bible verses on all the candy? We believe that candy is sweet, but nothing is sweeter than Jesus. We want everything we do to point to Him. Jesus died for you...that's a huge deal, and it can change your life! We hope you enjoy the candy, but we hope that you get to know the God of the universe even better. Starbursts? Yeah! But what about getting to know the One who made the stars! Dum Dums? Fun! But how about exploring that God made you with intention and you are NOT "dum". See what I mean? It's sweet to enjoy candy, but nothing is sweeter than Jesus!
What if it rains? We're here rain or shine. Indoor trick-or-treating works great if it rains. You may want to bring an umbrella if you are parking on site in our lots, or, even better, you may also park at the Hercules Transit Center, wait under the overhang, and ride straight to the front!
What if the parking lot is full? We have a FREE SHUTTLE all night from the Hercules Transit Center. Parking there is the easiest. You can take the shuttle and get dropped off right at the front!
Can anyone come? Yes! You do not have to be a member of Valley Bible Church to attend Candy Kingdom. We'd love to have you and invite your friends to come with you too! We have over 100,000 pieces of candy we can't wait to give out!
Why do you do all of this for FREE? We know that candy is sweet, but NOTHING IS SWEETER THAN JESUS! We want you to experience that for yourself. We believe that Jesus was a real person and came to earth to die and pay for all the things we've done wrong. Not only is that crazy, it's life-changing. We believe that so much that we put our money where our mouth is. The loving people of Valley Bible Church have paid for every penny it costs to underwrite this huge event.
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AN IMPACT
Would you like to help underwrite this event? Your donations go toward providing candy for the 1500+ kids who come through our campus on Halloween.
