VBS 2010 – The title of this study is Soul Survivors on Danger Island and the work is progressing nicely. This VBS program teaches how God gives victory over obstacles in life. It is based on Romans 8:37.

o VBS 2011 – The title of this study is Treasure Quest – Pursuing the Riches of Christ. The lessons are based on Paul’s statement about Christ in Colossians 2:2, 3.

The Virginia Theological Seminary also does a review of VBS curriculum as preparation for its annual VBS curriculum fair, usually in March. You can download it from their website. Nov 5, 2010 they will have a VBS planning workshop event. You can find info at http://www.vts.edu click on the Center for the Ministry of Teaching. They also review Sunday School curriculum.

24 Scott September 30, 2009 at 1:55 pm

Another great resource is http://www.gcp.org. Their curriculum rotates on a 3 yr. cycle. I highly recommend them to all.

Hey all–

I am 22 years old trying to follow God’s call in my life. I believe He is leading me to write low-cost, Scripture-driven VBS programs. By His grace and will, I wrote one this summer centering on the armor of God passage found in Ephesians 6:11-18. It is a full program and can be adapted for any church size, as long as people are willing to volunteer. I provide craft and snack ideas, but do not include the actual materials as I believe it is cheaper to purchase the necessary items in one’s own hometown. I also provide drama scripts and dialog to help guide the leaders.

I have the administrator’s manual, teacher’s manual, and children’s workbooks on three developmental levels. Now I don’t know what to do with them. I want to get this program out into the world, but don’t know where to begin. Could anyone help me? Is any church interested in using this program? I can provide more information and samples if desired.

Thank you for your help and God bless!

29 Jay Williamson November 6, 2009 at 12:46 pm: Tara Do you havea web page. If not you could make one real easily by going to webs.com formerly freewebs.com and make a free website. You could put your info on there and set up a store. For a small fee they will upgrade your free site and you could then add your sitename to search engines such as google, msn-bing and yahoo. I would like to know more about your VBS curriculum. I do a low to no cost summer camp for low-income families, I would like to see if your curiculum is one that I could use for next summer Please email me. summerfellowshipprograms@live.com
