Last year we posted a free VBS curriculum written by Tara Tegard called “Bible Boot Camp VBS.” It is still available for download and hundreds of churches have used it in their ministry.
Tara has written a second Vacation Bible School curriculum and wants to share it with readers on our website. It is titled “BigHeart Farms” and covers Galatians 5:16-26, the Fruit of the Spirit.

Thank you. We used your curriculum for VBS this year. We tweaked it to fit our small work force and had a very successful VBS. Thank you for making it available.
Love your vbs material. We used the Armor of God this year and it was great. Did a little tweaking and adding. Working on maybe doing Fruits of the Spirit. Wondering if you have a Moto in mind for it. Thanks and God Bless.
we have a Saturday Outreach Feeding program in our church. Before feeding the neighborhood kids, We teach them God’s Word. I have run out of ideas and was thinking of either doing armor of God or doing this. This is a great help. Thank you for this! You are a great help to busy, weekend, ministry workers. May God continue to endow you with wisdom and creativity in reaching out to the whole world. God bless!
Thank you for your amazing talent. I used it for my kids and their friends during Covid shutdown, and now we are using it for our small church. Prayers appreciated. 🙂
Thank you so much for this wonderful VBS materials. It is a big help for us to conduct first time VBS in our pioneering church here in the Philippines province of Davao del Norte. An amazing ministry that many children come to know Jesus. May God continue to richly bless you abundantly.
