“Scuba had interesting characters and good Bible lessons. Group’s VBS is always well organized and has options for our small Group as well as big churches. We’ve been using Group VBS at least ten years. Each activity brings connection to other activities and to God’s word.”

“We had a great VBS. Sticky Scripture was a great addition! Thanks so much for making that change! Our kids never complained about missing the Imagination Station gadgets...thanks again for that change! The kids loved the songs, but I must say I along with other adults, were disappointed in the lack of theme connection. For example, a carnival/fair with kids wearing cowboy hats or a skateboarding park for a Scuba theme was usual. In the future it would be nice to get back to really "diving into" the theme for the year. I understand your location made Scuba a bit more challenging, but even recycling songs from Shipwrecked or having an "island sound" to one of the song selections would have been amazing. Overall, Scuba was terrific! Thanks for all you do! Looking forward to True North!”

“We absolutely loved SCUBA VBS! The addition od Sticky Scripture really help support our desire to get our kids into the scriptures. We had such a sweet spirit all week. Multiple kids made first time commitments or asked for talk to us more about salvation. We had many say they experienced the Holy Spirit in ways they had not. Even the adults were talking about how different this year seemed. We have always loved Group VBS. We have used it for 20+ years, but this year really made an impact on all in attendance.”

We are thrilled to hear that you had a great VBS and loved Sticky Scripture! Thank you for taking the time to let us know.

“Scuba VBS was fun for all. Fun songs, experiments and Bible stories. The one issue that we had was with having to purchase all of the Imagination station items in Crew packs for the 5 days. It made it difficult to be able to modify how we do our VBS. Many of the ideas were great but we wanted All the kids to be able to take home a part of it, not just 1 or a few kids. Please go back to daily packs instead of weekly by Crew packs.”

We are excited to hear that your ministry had a successful Scuba VBS this summer! Many of our Friends In Ministry have provided similar feedback regarding the Imagination Station Crew Packs. Next year, we are selling our True North VBS Imagination Station Supplies in several different kit options, including by the day or the week. We hope that this change will better meet the needs of all of the ministries that we serve. We appreciate your feedback!

“I love Group’s Easy VBS. I’ve been using it for more than 25 years. However all the other church in the area are using the same VBS. My number for VBS have been shrinking since Covid and we think we may need to use another publishers VBS this coming year. Thanks for creating such a great product!”

“In previous years we really loved the music and the videos that went along with it, this year it felt to cartoonist and felt it has been slipping the last couple of years. Also we mis the KidVid. We are leaning towards another program after over 10 years of purchasing Group.”

“Our church like Group's VBS material but the cost is too expensive for small churches like ours. We don't use half of the things in there and have to spend extra money to get any posters, character buddies, backdrop, etc that we want to use. We wanted to play some of the songs but it didn't work on proclaim so I ended up having to pay more for the digital version just to play 4 songs. is there anyway to find out what church want or need and custom the kits for them without breaking the bank.”

“There were some complaints on the Imagination Station this year. The Imagination Station leader wrote this: I was disappointed with the experiments being bundled all together for the week, how they didn't get to take something home with them everyday, and if they did get to, there weren't any directins on what to do with it. Other than that, we were very pleased.”
