Is VBS Worth It?

See How One Week Can Transform Your Church

Adults who attend VBS have overwhelmingly positive memories of the experience. 69% of American parents will encourage their child to participate in a VBS event at a church they don’t attend if invited by one of their friends.

If you total it up VBS results in 15 hours of intense discipleship, the gospel being shared daily, and 7 months of ministry in 1 week. IT’S WORTH IT!
