Surveys show that many churches feel disappointed with their VBS choice—not because publishers are bad, but because the program simply doesn’t fit their context.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Following the Crowd – A curriculum that thrills a large church may overwhelm a small congregation.
- Budget Blind Spots – Choosing premium materials without a clear spending plan leads to last-minute cutbacks.
- Theological Misalignment – Doctrinal differences create confusion and require unnecessary adaptations.
- Age-Group Mismatch – Preschool-heavy congregations struggle with youth-focused content.
