Important VBS Leader Information

Welcome to VBS 2026 - Illumination Station! Thank you for stepping up to serve as a VBS Leader! No matter your role this summer with VBS, you are an important part to the success of this fun-filled week.

Below you will find the VBS Leader Online Training. We ask all leaders (adults + students) to complete the training.

For any questions, please contact Adam Pharris at apharris@stevensstreet.org.

VBS Leader Online Training

Step 1: Read the VBS Leader Handbook

Please take time to check out all of the information in the VBS Leader Handbook.

Step 2: Watch the VBS Leader Training Videos

Please watch each of the 5 Training Videos. You can watch them all at one time, or feel free to space them out.

Step 3: Background Check + Child Safety Training

All VBS Leaders (18 years old +) are required to complete a Background Check and a Child Safety Training. We have partnered with Ministry Safe to help with this process. If you have already completed this because you serve in the Preschool, Kids, or Student Ministries or another ministry opportunity, you do not need to complete it again.

If you need to complete them, you will receive two separate emails from Ministry Safe. Please complete them as soon as you can. The Child Safety Training will take approximately one hour to complete. The Background Check and Child Safety Training are valid for two years.

Step 4: Training Completion Form

After you have read through the VBS Leader Handbook, watched all five Training Videos, and completed the steps through Ministry Safe (if necessary), please fill out the Training Completion Form.
