One of the great things about AP’s VBS is that it can be adapted to ANY size congregation or class, or can be adjusted to a shorter window of time. The VBS directors at each congregation will have a lot to say about how exactly the classes will be set up and dictate how the lessons are taught, and to which ages. The informational video found HERE goes into detail about a lot of the implementations of the lessons. The director’s manual is another in-depth source of information about how this can be done. The challenge, as always with VBS, is that each congregation is unique in size and needs. There won’t be a blanket fit or solution for all. The VBS Sample kit is designed to give those in charge a hands-on look at what to expect and how this can be best used.
