Modern programs usually consist of a week-long program of religious education which may employ Bible stories, religious songs, arts and crafts, skits or puppet shows which cater toward elementary school-aged children.

IS VBS Worth It?
Uncovering how one week can transform your church.
“Let the children come to Me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God.” Mark 10:14, ESV
Adults who attended VBS have overwhelmingly positive memories of the experience. About 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!
