Puppet Skits

A favorite every year, the puppet skit tells the tale of Tommy and his friends as they learn about godly character like gratefulness. Each skit captivates the kids attention while teaching them how to show gratefulness in everyday life.

Exciting Games

Your Child's Safety is our Priority

Safe and Visible Workers

Every Character Quest worker must pass a background check before they are able to work with children. Background checks are updated regularly to ensure your child's safety.
To ensure you and your children can easily identify the Character Quest Workers, each worker has an official blue Character Quest t-shirt and current year ID lanyard.

Child Check-In

Before a child can participate in Character Quest, we require their parent/guardian to come to the registration table to check in.
Each child gets a name tag so staff can be sure every child participating has their parent's or guardian's permission to join in the fun.
We make every effort to keep your children safe including diligently noting any food allergies and indicating these on the child's name tag for their safety during snack time.

Parents are Welcome

We know it can feel weird leaving your kid with people in the park that's why we have created the parent area. Parents can enjoy a break while we tend to your kids. Hotdogs are ready for the adults after the Character Building Story while the kids are playing games. Have a hotdog and bottled water on us and enjoy a 5 minute parent seminar to help you with the challenges of parenting.
Meet other parents and Plains Baptist Church's Children's Program staff while your kids enjoy a safe and fun evening in the park.
