Gear Up with Us at VBS 2018 Preview Events!
VBS Previews are Lifeway’s premiere training opportunity for VBS leaders. Previews are a time for VBS fans from all over to come together and immerse themselves in the latest, greatest that VBS has to offer. Leaders will receive specific training on their particular area of responsibility during VBS (e.g. VBS Director, age-group Bible study leader, rotation leader, etc.) so that they can excel in their responsibilities. They’ll also have access to a wide range of breakouts from which to pick and choose—giving them a training experience that is completely customized to them! Leaders will be inspired, challenged, encouraged by our expert team of trainers, as well as by interacting and networking with their fellow VBS leaders.
VBS Previews are a chance for you and your team to get motivated and to be encouraged. It’s a time to focus anew on WHY we do VBS. When we embracing the WHY of VBS, our individual and collective passion is stirred to take VBS beyond “what we’ve always done” and challenges us to reach more, teach more, and evangelize more!
It’s what makes January our absolute FAVORITE time of the year! We can’t wait for VBS Previews! And we can’t wait to meet you, worship with you, learn from you, hear feedback from you, and prepare alongside you for next summer’s VBS. Hope to see you (and your whole team) there!

Hi I was just curious about who leads the breakout sessions? Will it be lifeway representatives or members of each specific church location?
Melita Thomas says
VBS Previews boast a fantastic faculty of VBS experts from around the country. Some are from LifeWay, and others are VBS All-Stars in their states. We use the same faculty at all four events.
