Many people may wonder about the purpose of Vacation Bible School and whether it’s still relevant. The answer is simple: VBS ministers to children in the church and surrounding communities and creates evangelism opportunities. This purpose is supported by a creative theme of Bible study, activities, worship, and even time for some tasty snacks. If you are not sure VBS is for you, here are a few things to consider: 

 

Since Real Life was planted, we have invested in children through Vacation Bible School. VBS can be a short-term event with long-term results.

With a typical five-day timeframe, VBS offers an opportunity to go all-out and create an unforgettable experience. Research shows that connections made during VBS lead to salvations, the discovery of church prospects, and the identification of potential workers for other ongoing children’s programs. Also, it is not uncommon for a leader to volunteer to help for “just one week of VBS” and feel God’s tug on their heart to work with kids permanently.

 

VBS is a special event that creates memories that help lock Bible truths in a child’s heart and mind for a lifetime. Birthday parties and other special events feature creative themes that evoke excitement. Games, food, decorations, and fun all come together as a complete package. VBS does the same thing. When we connect with kids through this ministry, the biblical truths that permeate all aspects of VBS also connect with their hearts and minds.

 

VBS is an intentional evangelistic opportunity. The biblical content built into the curriculum lays foundational truths that help kids understand who Jesus is and why they need a personal Savior. The relationships you develop with kids and their families can provide many opportunities to not only show the love of Jesus but also to share the truth of the gospel.

 

VBS is what you make it. We provide an on-campus experience that encourages our church kids to bring their friends to share the good news about Jesus. Kids will come to love and talk about the events that excite them, engage them, and help them know that God and the people at your church really care about them.

 

VBS is an opportunity to ignite the imagination of our church, involve volunteers for a specific “doable” commitment, and connect with the kids in our church and community. The methods we use will create memories. The message we share changes lives.
