Let's Shine as Lights!
Full steam ahead! The Light Express is leaving the station because there’s a world to reach! Through music, drama, and hands-on Bible lessons, children will journey across the globe, discover God’s heart for the nations, and learn how they can shine the light of the gospel wherever He sends them.
All Aboard!
An Adventure with Purpose
The Light Express is a Christ-centered, high-energy VBS where children don’t just hear about the mission field. They step into it! Each song and story reinforces biblical truth and helps children apply God’s Word to their lives. Along the way, they’ll experience:
- Original Bible dramas and hilarious skits
- Energetic Scripture-based songs and engaging visuals
- A true-life hero story that teaches biblical character
- Lesson plans, games, crafts, snacks, and more!
Why Choose a MET VBS?
A MET VBS is more than a curriculum. Over the past 30+ years, we have led more than 285 weeks of VBS, developing an approach that combines biblical teaching with music, drama, and engaging visual and hands-on experiences.

Immersive
A Unique VBS Experience
We partner with local churches to connect with families, give church members opportunities to serve, and reach children in their community with the gospel.
03
Missional
Reaching Your Community

The production was fantastic. The team was great. The performance was on the spot. We are so thankful for all that your team did. The best part was how that everyone in the church pitched in every night. It was even a great experience for the adults and I was encouraged at how many helped out.
