Announcing VBS 2021 Previews!
I look forward to January all year long. Why? Because January = VBS Previews! My absolute favorite time of year! It’s always so exciting to be with VBS leaders from across the country as we get our very first look at the brand new VBS. We all get amped up and inspired to make this year our best VBS ever!
VBS Previews have typically taken place in four different cities across the country. And while that was great for people who live within driving distance of those cities, many people have expressed disappointment that it’s too far and too expensive for them to ever attend. That’s just not fair! We believe everyone ought to be able to experience the magic that is a VBS Preview!
So for the first time ever, VBS Previews are going virtual in 2021! That’s great news! You won’t have to take off work to attend, there will be no travel expenses, and you can bring even more of your team! Plus, you can pick the date and time that works best for you!
Rather than a two-day event, VBS Previews 2021 will be condensed into a single morning or afternoon. (Each person on your team will need his/her own ticket. When purchasing multiple tickets, PLEASE make sure to register each person using his/her own email address in order for each person to get his/her own login.) Tune in LIVE during those hours and you’ll get to attend an energizing main session that overviews the theme, Bible content, and choreography for Destination Dig as well as take your pick from over 20 breakouts to train, equip, and prepare you for VBS 2021.
Will it feel like I’m just watching videos by myself? Absolutely not! You will be able interact with everyone attending with you from around the country live and in real time. We’ve even designed special spaces within the online event that will allow you to turn on your camera and microphone to participate in live discussions with the Lifeway VBS team and with VBS leaders just like you! You’ll be able to network with one another and share ideas as well as get individualized help. Oh, and did I mention that there will be PRIZES and giveaways? Oh yes! Throughout the live event you will have opportunities to play games and win prizes—just for attending.
Tickets are just $49 and include live access during the event, specialized countdowns and bumpers for Destination Dig, and a free VBS t-shirt. Click here to reserve your spot today!
Sounds great! Will there also be virtual training for state teams who need to train virtually? Would love your creative ideas for that.
Yes, state training teams will also participate in a virtual VBS Institute.
Thank you Lifeway for doing this. I have always wanted to attend a VBS workshop and never could. I will be sure and do this.
So excited that you all found away to help us get ready for VBS 2021. I do have a couple of questions:
All four dates for preview all will be live?
Will the 20 + breakouts be the same on each day? If not will there be away to know which days has the ones we would most likely want to attend?
There is no option to attend as a group is that also correct?
Will the breakouts be recored incase we want to attend more than we possibly can?
Good questions, Tim. Yes, all four previews will be live experiences (all times CST) so you’ll need to choose the date and time that works best for you and allows you to attend during that window. (The afternoon times may be ideal for west coasters.) You will only be able to attend (and win prizes!) during the hours of the event. All four events will have identical breakouts. Each person will need his/her own ticket and device to attend the breakouts of his/her choice. However, you could plan to all gather together at church to watch the opening main session and then break off to your individual devices to attend the breakouts.
We will offer a Digital Pass as an add-on to your ticket which will allow you to view the breakout content later.
I already purchased my ticket for January 29th how much will the digital pass cost and when will it be available to purchase?
You will be able to purchase at the event.
You will be able to purchase at VBS Preview.
How do I get the digital pass? I am getting ready to order my ticket, but I don’t see an option for the digital pass.
We are so excited for Destination Dig! Do you happen to have the fonts available so we can begin preparing all of our printed material? Thank you!
Yes! You can see the full font list on the Decorating Made Easy DVD and Worship Rally CD Set (disc 2). We have a free font available this year (called “Dig It”) that you an download from the Administrative CD-ROM, Decorating Made Easy DVD-ROM, and Disc 2 of the Worship Rally CD Set. “Anthology” was used as an alternate header and “Proxima Nova” is the body copy.
We loved our Destination Dig Preview Experience! When will we be receiving our free t-shirts? So excited for VBS!
I’m so glad your team enjoyed it, Rebekah! Shirts on their way to you as we speak!
