Illumination Station VBS

Step into the light with Illumination Station, the 2026 Lifeway VBS theme, where kids explore who Jesus truly is. This fun, faith-filled week will brighten hearts and minds as children engage in dynamic Bible lessons, creative crafts, interactive activities, and powerful worship.

Many kids today know about Jesus, but do they really know Him? This VBS theme invites children to explore Jesus's question to His disciples: "Who do you say that I am?" As kids discover the power of light to brighten, reflect, and reveal, they'll see how Jesus is more than just a good man or teacher—He is the Son of God, the Light of the World.

Illumination Station VBS is the perfect VBS to help churches teach biblical truth in a way that's memorable, meaningful, and mission-focused. It's a week of discovery and discipleship that will help kids walk in the light of Christ every day.
