The title of this post is inaccurate. Vacation Bible School is never over. Well, perhaps the actual program is, but the “follow-up” that ought to be taking place, keeps it going. Various kinds of follow-up can be implemented to help make this year’s VBS even more spiritually successful as well as set the stage for the next VBS. While everything is fresh in people’s mind, it’s time to start planning for the next year.
Follow-Up Ideas for When VBS is Over
The following ideas provide some broad suggestions for what you can do for follow-up. Specifics for implementing these suggestions depends on your setting but in some way could be a part of your plan.
- Take Home Follow-up
- Contact Follow-up
- Discipleship Follow-up
- Parent Follow-up
- Prayer Follow-up
- Report Follow-up
- Evaluation Follow-up
- Staff Follow-up
- Reunion Follow-up
- Outreach Follow-up
- Projecting Forward Follow-up
If your VBS program is long over and you haven’t done any follow-up, you can still implement some of these ideas.

You’ll find brief input about each of the above means of VBS follow-up in the Vacation Bible School Ministry Manual. The resource looks at six other steps, in addition to follow-up, to having an effective VBS.
Fantastic! Will share with my VBS Leader. Thanks.
Wonderful! May they find some of the ideas beneficial!
