Spring Training, you have options!

For 2026, we are offering different training options to help your church prepare for VBS, regardless of what curriculum you choose! In addition to Lifeway focused training sessions, we have overview trainings available that cover VBS options from Group Publishing and Answers in Genesis. These trainings are perfect for individual churches, associational teams, directors of mission, or anyone who wants to learn everything about VBS 2026.

If you have any questions about these trainings or you would like to join a VBS cohort that includes book studies and monthly breakout sessions, contact Christy Nance at (314)795-0676 or cdnance@swbell.net.
