Hear What People Are Saying About VBS

For me, VBS is my foundation. That’s where I found God for the first time at about 7 years old. And now I run VBS, so it was my first time experiencing God through fun games and laughter and through the arts.

— Lisa M.

VBS is one of my earliest memories of introduction to a Christian lifestyle. VBS is an opportunity to plant seeds in the life of a child so that later in their lives the Lord has an opportunity to water that seed and to bring forth fruit from that seed that was planted as a child.

— Volunteer VBS Leader

It has encouraged me from the time I was a child and understanding the Gospel and seeing that Christ has a plan for my life.

— Penny R.
