VBS Volunteers
Agents wanted: Serve on the VBS 2026 team
Looking for a fulfilling and meaningful way to invest in the next generation?
Are you hoping to make a deeper connection with other people in your church community?
Do you have some free time that you’re looking to use in a way that honors Jesus?
Look no further than this summer’s Vacation Bible School! Volunteers like you not only create amazing experiences for our kids and students to learn more about our good God, but we truly could not do it without you! We are looking for both adults and students (7th Grade+) to facilitate VBS.
We are looking for volunteers to assist with various tasks such as decorating, preparing snacks, running outdoor activities, leading small groups, playing with babies, and so much more. Not only will you have the chance to use your talents and skills to the glory of God, but you will also have a chance to form lasting connections with fellow volunteers and children alike.
Serve at Vacation Bible School 2026: In today’s world, kids are pressured on all sides to accept what teachers, friends, and society tell them about Jesus. But they don’t need to fall under that pressure! At Agency D3, they will become secret agents and investigate for themselves! Kids will spend the week collecting evidence about the life of Jesus by examining eyewitness accounts, physical proof, and biblical records. They will discover the facts about who Jesus is, decide what to do with the evidence they’ve gathered, and gain the confidence they need to step out in faith and defend what they believe!
