what VBS is all about...

Every year, the volunteers of GFMC stand up to be counted in creating a quality, energetic experience for kids.  It takes hours of planning and hours of labor to pull off an event like VBS.  So, why do we do it?  Well, here are just a few reasons I can think of...


KIDS LOVE IT!  They love being at the center of something, knowing that something was designed just for them.  We are passionate about meeting people at their level and VBS GFMC-style does just that!

WE LOVE KIDS!  Kids are fun, open to new things, and love the surprises and fun things that take place at VBS.

WE BELIEVE IN FAMILY MINISTRY!  We want to do whatever we can to let parents of these young kids know that we care not only about their kids, but about them, too!  Our weekly Kidventure ministry was created with the idea that families could worship together and build a relationship with Jesus as a family.

FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONE AND ONLY SON!  This is what spurs us to do VBS and do it with focus, time and energy.  We want the world to know about this Jesus and VBS is one way we can do it!

IT'S FUN DOING SOMETHING BIG!  VBS is a great way to get folks serving together, getting out of our comfort zones in order to bless someone else.  In the case of VBS, it's kids who are blessed!  Big events are exciting in themselves, but when you know you're doing it for Jesus, it's even better!

Well, that's just a few off the top of my head.  What are some reasons you can think of?
