VBS

Vacation Bible School 2025

The Great Jungle Journey

Join us on an epic adventure from Genesis to Revelation! Living Hope Bible Church is excited to host a rainforest-themed Vacation Bible School from June 17-20, 2025. VBS will run daily from 9:00 am to 1:00 pm at Living Hope Bible Church in Sarasota, Florida.

Kids ages 5–12 are invited to take part in The Great Jungle Journey—an unforgettable week of fun, faith, and discovery. Children who are 4 years old may attend if accompanied by a parent.

Throughout the week, kids will explore the big questions of life and faith: Did God really create everything? Why do bad things happen? Can I trust the Bible? They'll dive into God's Word and uncover answers as they journey through the 7 C's of History—Creation, Corruption, Catastrophe, Confusion, Christ, Cross, and Consummation.

Each day will be packed with engaging Bible lessons, exciting jungle games, hands-on crafts, snacks, worship, and memory verses.

Registration is now open—don't miss the journey!

FAQs for Parents

  • Please do not drop off your child earlier than 6:15 PM and pick up your child no later than 8:30 PM.

  • Our curriculum and Bible lessons are primarily taught in English, and kids learn verses in English, except for our youngest group (3-4-year-olds). The 5-6-year-olds use a blended English/Russian language in their class.

  • Yes. Kids should not be dropped off at VBS if they are exhibiting the following symptoms:

    • Fever, diarrhea, or vomiting within the last 48 hours

    • Green or yellow runny nose

    • Eye discoloration or skin infections

    • Persistent or productive cough

    • Other symptoms of contagious or infectious disease

    If the child starts showing signs of sickness, volunteers will have a thermometer to check for fever and notify parents immediately to pick up their child.

  • Kids are not given snacks on a regular basis unless it's a special occasion.

  • The VBS staff will make every effort to accommodate children's needs as long as they can provide a safe environment. Parents should communicate all special considerations for their children.

  • If a child is noticeably ill or injured, the parent will be contacted immediately. If sick, the child will be separated from the other children until the parent arrives to pick up the child. LHBC members are not authorized to administer medication of any kind. If a child is disruptive (e.g., hurting other children or unresponsive to the instruction of VBS staff), the parent of the child will be contacted after 2 warnings.

  • At least two volunteers are always present in each classroom, and at least one of them is a class leader. All volunteers aged 18 years and older have received a background check, are members of Living Hope Bible Church, and have been approved by LHBC leadership. Teenagers from the youth who are not LHBC members but are at least 14 years of age are also allowed to serve and are approved by LHBC leadership.

  • Parents are welcome to come to shadow their child for an evening, but due to space constraints in the classrooms, we ask that this request be made in advance with the class leader.
