  1. Wonderful themes for children. Our children are a true heritage for the church. We all need to nurture them in God’s ways. How I wish I could get these lessons in PDF form for our African churches too. Good bless you.

  3. What themes do you have for a 3 day vbs with the last night being a family night and where the kids can perform songs and anything else they learned.

  4. Hello! I know I’m not the publisher of this website but I know something that can answer your question. So I had this one Vacation Bible School theme at my friends church that lasted 3 days and ended on a wednesday. The theme was actually the them from Lifeway from 2019. I believe it was called ” In The Wild” and they did not do all the songs but did Day 1, 2, and 3 songs (Of cource the theme song). If your church or something isn’t apart of the Southern Baptist Convition or you would like to try out Lifeway for the first time I suggest using Lifeway themes. They have awesome themes, games, lessons. and many more amazing things.

    Hope this helps!~

  5. Do you have any one day curriculum, ending with recreational time fir the kids.
    We’d like to do just one day ending with family time.

  6. Hello there, this is Rev. Alberto A. Valdez, Pastor of Lifegate Church, Leganes, Iloilo, Philippines. You VBS Themes are amazing and attractive to Kids. May I ask if you can spare us with your old materials. We are only a small church but have outreaches to children within the different Barangays of Leganes. It will be a great help to us if you can spare us your old “used” materials.
    Thank you very much and hoping for your positive response. God bless you and your ministry.
