Vacation Bible School serves as a strategic outreach event for many churches and an excellent opportunity to reach children and families for Christ.
VBS is most successful when a church embraces it as a total church ministry. VBS serves as an entry point to the church and Christianity for many individuals. Resources are available for churches to effectively train leaders, disciple children, and reach families with the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Please access our NC Baptist State Convention Vimeo website to view leadership and volunteer training that will help your church make VBS 2023 a life-changing ministry event.
