As a parent, you want to find every opportunity to develop virtuous behavior and build character in your children. Attending a well-rounded vacation Bible school program can help you achieve this goal.
At VBS, kids gain a deeper understanding about the Bible, make biblical, hands-on crafts, play faith-based games and take home valuable lessons that last a lifetime.
This summer, strengthen your children's faith in God by signing them up for one of the many educational (and fun) VBS programs happening around south Fulton County. Many of these programs still have open enrollment, but don't wait too long — spaces will fill up fast.
