Vacation Bible School continues to be a vital tool for the church in evangelism, discipleship, missions, and fellowship. This webpage is dedicated to being an ongoing resource for all KBC churches in equipping leaders and volunteers to effectively carry out the ministry of VBS. No matter the method, length, curriculum, or location, we believe your VBS will be one of the most effective strategies for reaching your communities with the gospel.
Please report your numbers for VBS this year! It doesn’t matter if it was in-person, virtual, backyard bible club, etc. You will no longer need to breakdown volunteers and age groups. The number will be total enrollment (volunteers and participants).
If you need assistance, please contact Lisa Plemmons at 502-489-3390.
