Let’s get to the root of things!

The Tree of Life children’s curriculum shows how you can find evidence of Christ and His work in every Bible story.

Isaiah tells us, “There shall come forth a shoot from the stump of Jesse, and a branch from his roots shall bear fruit” (Isaiah 11:1 ESV). This branch is Christ, our new tree of life! Using The Tree of Life for VBS, you’ll explore foundational Biblical accounts that tell the whole story of Jesus for you!

Benefits

Intergenerational

The Tree of Life is for the whole church! The sermon series and other supplements follow the same accounts as the children’s curriculum, which means the congregation can study God’s Word together.

Year-Round Potential

Just like Christ isn’t our Savior just for a week, the learning at VBS doesn’t need to end after just one week. The children’s curriculum included in The Tree of Life congregational kit allows children to delve deeper into the Scriptures, and the family kit includes activities and readings to bridge learning at home.
