Illumination Station VBS

Step into the light with Illumination Station, the 2026 Lifeway VBS theme, where kids explore who Jesus truly is. This fun, faith-filled week will brighten hearts and minds as children engage in dynamic Bible lessons, creative crafts, interactive activities, and powerful worship.

Many kids today know about Jesus, but do they really know Him? This VBS theme invites children to explore Jesus's question to His disciples: "Who do you say that I am?" As kids discover the power of light to brighten, reflect, and reveal, they'll see how Jesus is more than just a good man or teacher—He is the Son of God, the Light of the World.

Illumination Station VBS is the perfect VBS to help churches teach biblical truth in a way that's memorable, meaningful, and mission-focused. It's a week of discovery and discipleship that will help kids walk in the light of Christ every day.

Lifeway VBS

Lifeway is known for its strong biblical foundation, engaging curriculum, and age-specific programming that reaches the whole church—from babies to adults. Whether you're planning VBS for preschoolers, elementary kids, teens, or even adult volunteers, Lifeway offers both closely graded and multi-age formats to fit your church's needs.

What Makes Lifeway VBS Stand Out:

  • In-Depth Bible Study: Every Lifeway VBS features rich, gospel-centered Bible teaching that helps kids grow in their understanding of God's Word.
  • Evangelistic Focus: Each day is designed with an evangelistic emphasis, pointing kids directly to Jesus and giving them a clear opportunity to respond to the gospel.
  • Engaging Rotations: Kids experience fun and faith-building through themed rotations, including crafts, music, missions, snacks, and recreation—all intentionally tied to the daily Bible truth.
  • Inclusive Programming: Lifeway offers VBS options for kids with special needs as well as Spanish-language resources, helping every child engage in God's Word.
  • Flexible Group Formats: The large group/small group model encourages connection and discussion while keeping kids actively engaged.
