[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It might be winter outside, but here at Group<\/a> our sights are set on summer and VBS. Here are 3 HUGE reasons VBS is needed now more than ever, according to VBS Directors like you:<\/p>\n

VBS introduces more kids to Jesus than any other event.<\/strong>
\n“It’s the most concentrated time of ministry we have. More learning, discovering, and excitement happens at VBS than any other week.”<\/em>
\n–Mary Sims, VBS Director<\/p>\n

VBS gets the whole church involved and creates a common purpose.<\/strong>
\n“I have more excitement from my team about VBS than any other event. I love the energy it brings to my entire church.”<\/em>
\n–Holly Rogers, VBS Director<\/p>\n

VBS opens the doors of your church to a larger community.<\/strong>
\n“The biggest thing is outreach. Every year we get totally unchurched children. We don’t want to give up the opportunity to reach those kids.”<\/em>
\n–Marlene Stroh, VBS Director<\/p>\n

Planning for VBS this summer will be a little different as you adjust to guidelines in your area, but we guarantee it’s worth it. We’ve designed a quick and easy guide<\/a> to help you jumpstart planning and our team at Group is here to help you every step of the way![\/vc_column_text][vc_btn title=”Download the VBS: Getting Started Guide ” color=”info” align=”center” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fgroup.mediafire.com%2Ffile%2Fpckflwp2103vhq1%2FVBS_Getting_Started_Guide.pdf%2Ffile|||”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
