VBS 2020 Top Picks, More Reviews Coming Soon!

Virginia Theological Seminary has offered Vacation Bible School reviews for more than 15 years. Beginning as an in-person “fair” and transitioning to an online-only presence in 2018, Lifelong Learning has spent countless hours assessing intensive, formative curricula so that hundreds of folks can rely on an authoritative assessment. We take our role in your programming seriously. This year, we asked our reviewers to probe the various programs a little more deeply.

You can read about our methodology in this post, “VBS Reviews 2020: Our Methodology.”
