It's Time to Get Ready for Vacation Bible School (VBS)

Volunteers stacking hands

It may be February (I'm looking out the window at snow!), but it's time for churches to begin to plan for their Vacation Bible School or Camp. Many churches will soon begin early registration, and we have several tools in our church management software that work with your VBS planning and management. From tracking payments and registration, to group text notifications, child check-in, and more, our tools can help keep you on task because you know these months go fast.

So check out all the details at our post, "VBS: Plan, Communicate, Promote and Organize with Our Software"

Our Service

Online Church Solutions is a website builder (CMS) and church management software (ChMS) for churches, ministries, missionaries and other non-profits—all in one place, all for one price. We also offer sermon podcasting with iTunes Page for an additional yearly price.
