FBC Ellenton - Vacation Bible School


According to a blog by ministry specialist Jerry Wooley, "It all started in 1924 when Washington, Georgia pastor Dr. Homer Lamar Grice came to The Sunday School Board to begin promoting the ministry of The Daily Vacation Bible School. Dr. Grice who remained in the position for 29 years, is credited with creating much of the structure and practices of VBS that we still use today."

"You can say he truly journeyed off the map (since no map existed) and pioneered one of the most evangelistically successful ministires for reaching kids and their families."

Vacation Bible School at First Baptist Ellenton is an exciting time during the summer break. The much anticipated annual event spans an entire week of mission study, Bible study, music, recreation, crafts, fun games and refreshments. Our Vacation Bible School is also a cooperative effort with other congregations of the Manatee Southern Baptist Association. All of our age graded activities and curriculum are colorful, exciting, and identifiable with Bible Truths.
