The VBS team request deadline is February 15 for the 2020 summer. If you apply after the date there is potential for your church/camp to receive a team, however those who applied before the deadline will receive first priority.
If you are looking to host the Ambassadors, those requests can be taken up until March 15.
During the summer, you’ll find anywhere from 30 to 40 FLBC students scattered in teams across the US. These Summer Ministry Teams focus on teaching children in Vacation Bible School, counseling youth at Bible camps, and performing music concerts for spiritual encouragement and spreading the gospel message.
Each summer, FLBC sends anywhere between eight and ten teams to encourage believers, reach young people for the Lord, and make disciples of Jesus Christ through Vacation Bible School, concerts, and Bible Camps. Teams are also fully equipped to share testimonies, lead youth group events, and assist with outreach.
Made up of two men, two women, and an accompanist, this team is committed to proclaiming the good news of Jesus Christ through musical concerts and through testimony of what God has done in their lives.
Each of these teams, composed of two men and two women, travel to churches throughout the AFLC, ministering to children and family through VBS. Occasionally, the teams serve as dorm room leaders as well.

The Summer Teams Staff is working on choosing the curriculum for Summer 2020. We will notify those inquiring about teams as soon as a curriculum has been chosen.
All payments from churches are due to the FLBC office by July 15. We encourage churches to make payments earlier, if possible.
Yes. Churches are asked to provide host families for the team. Typically, male team members stay in one home and female members stay in another home. We ask that the host families provide a positive, clean, and safe living environment for the team.

Most teams have two males and two females. Five person music teams have either two males and three females or two females and three males.
Yes. We ask that the church provide meals for the team throughout the week, whether it’s meals provided in host homes, meals hosted at the church, or meals hosted by various congregation members. This usually is a highlight of the team’s stay and an enjoyable experience for host churches.
Typically, students are divided into four groups: Pre-school and Kindergarten; 1st and 2nd grade; 3rd and 4thgrade; and 5th and 6th grade. Each team member will be responsible for teaching one age group. For churches with very large VBS programs (75 or more kids), we recommend these groups to be further divided and for the church to provide additional teachers.
Churches are responsible for providing craft supplies. It is recommended that the church also provide a craft leader. The team will be available for assisting the craft leader. In the absence of a craft leader, team members can lead the craft time, provided they have proper instructions and supplies.
Our teams will be fully trained to lead game time for the kids. However, if churches decide to provide their own game leader, the team members will be more than willing to participate and help the game leader.
