Why You Should Send Your Child to Vacation Bible School (VBS)

Summer is here, and with it comes one of the most beloved traditions for kids and families alike: Vacation Bible School (VBS)! If you’ve been wondering whether VBS is worth adding to your already full summer calendar, let us assure you—it absolutely is. And not just for your child, but for you too (hello, date night)!

This year at Wesley United Methodist Church, we’re hitting the road with our exciting VBS theme: “Road Trip: On the Go With God!”

Each night, kids will embark on a new adventure as they discover that no matter where life takes them, God is always along for the ride.

Join us July 21–28 from 6:00–7:30pm each evening for a journey filled with fun, faith, and friendship. Registration is required to help us prepare for crafts, games, snacks, and all the surprises we have in store.

5 Reasons to Say "Yes!" to VBS

1. Kids Grow in Faith
VBS is more than just fun and games—it’s a chance for children to explore important Bible stories, discover God’s love, and build a foundation of faith that will last a lifetime. Our “Road Trip” theme will take them on daily adventures that show how God guides us through every twist and turn of life.

2. They Make New Friends
VBS brings together children from across the community. Through teamwork, group activities, and shared experiences, kids form new friendships that often last long after VBS is over.

3. It’s Fun with a Purpose
From crafts to music, skits to games, every part of VBS is thoughtfully designed to teach meaningful lessons in a way that’s genuinely fun. With our road trip theme, each night will feel like an exciting new stop on the journey.

4. Screen-Free Social Time
In a world where screen time often dominates, VBS offers a refreshing break—giving children an opportunity to interact face-to-face, move their bodies, and exercise their imaginations.

5. Parents Deserve a Break Too
Let’s be honest: while the kids are busy learning, laughing, and creating, you get 90 glorious minutes to yourself each evening. Whether you use that time for a quiet cup of coffee, a workout, or even better—a spontaneous date night—VBS is good for the whole family. (We won’t ask questions if you show up looking extra relaxed!)
