Description
Ready to cook up some fun? Food Truck Party VBS invites children of all ages to get on a roll with God as a parade of food trucks rolls into their neighborhood for the summer’s biggest party! This VBS invites children to pray as Jesus teaches us in Matthew 6:11; “Give us this day our daily bread.” These words serve as a reminder that everything we have comes from God — and that it’s by turning to God in prayer that all of our daily needs are met.
From a whimsical lighthouse on an enchanted island, Explorers are guided by the Beacon the Puffin and the Lighthouse Keeper on a quest to find five mysterious Infinity Lanterns. Using map coordinates from their Reference Book (the Bible), they discover clues to find the lanterns while learning how God’s light shines in the lives of familiar Bible characters from the Old and New Testament.
With Champions in Life, participants will find joy in knowing that Jesus makes each one a winner. We are competing in life in order to reach the goal of the high calling of Jesus Christ. Kids will activate and exercise faith and fun, be encouraged to set godly goals, be inspired to reach for the prize, and believe that Jesus makes them champions!
One Room VBS can be done with as few as two leaders and in just one room and is for ages 5–12. Each of the 5 sessions include Activities, Bible Story, Science, Active Learning Option, Recreation, Crafts, and Music. One Room VBS curriculum is easy for churches to customize! The One Room VBS Kit has all you need to begin your VBS!

This interactive VBS curriculum explores five Bible stories that encourage children to listen to and learn from people who are different, notice the needs of others and seek to help, creatively work to keep everyone safe, and refuse to respond to conflict with violence. Children will learn 20 peacemaking strategies, giving them tools they need to follow Jesus’ way of peace. Passport to Peace invites children to see every person as part of God’s family, and every interaction as an opportunity to make peace.
A science lab conducts experiments that explain how things are possible. In Jesus’ ministry, he did things that are impossible. His greatest miracle of all was dying on the cross and rising from the dead for our salvation. At God’s Wonder Lab, discover that Jesus does the impossible for us. The all-inclusive 2021 VBS Starter Kit includes materials for 6 rotational sites, sample crafts, and student essentials. It also provides music videos and scores, lesson and decorating posters, and access to the digital content center.
Get those creative juices flowing at Spark Studios where imagination is ignited and creativity is awakened. Whether kids are exploring their artistic side in the Bible Study Studio or Crafts Design Center, laying down a track at the Music Sound Stage, or bringing inventions to life at the Missions Workshop, they will learn, like King David, to use their talents to bring glory to God.
On this five-day biblical journey, VBS Adventurers™ will learn about leadership, purpose, and overcoming obstacles with God as their guide! Adventurers will learn that God has a purpose for everyone and discover how to be the kind of leader God wants them to be. All of God’s children are called to lead in one way or another, and VBS Adventurers™ will explore the ways God wants them to lead, so that they may rightly claim their crown!
