VBS Cohort

You’re invited to our first-ever, four-week VBS cohort! This is a new approach to VBS “training” this year, with lots of opportunities to tailor it to meet your church’s needs and schedules!

There will be four online sessions that meet weekly for an hour and a half. Choose from a daytime session or an evening session, whatever works best for you! Each session will focus on a different aspect of VBS with time allotted for Q&A and problem-solving. Bring your questions, and we’ll work through them together!

Finally, after four sessions, we’ll have an in-person event where you and your team can enjoy lunch, check out crafts, snacks, games, and decor options for Lifeway’s Twists & Turns VBS, hear one final training session (a MUST for everyone on your VBS team) and score lots of giveaways!

You may choose to only attend the in-person event – that’s ok too!

The cohorts will allow us to work together in a smaller, interactive group setting, and the in-person event will allow us to gather together in a large group and get EXCITED for VBS 2023!

• Online Session 2: Tuesday, March 7, 10 AM and/or 7 PM
