WE ARE HERE TO HELP
CONNECT WITH US ON VBS @ HOME
Visit our one-stop shop for live stream broadcast schedules and resources to keep you connected to VBS from home. The doctors tell us to stay six feet away from one another. That’s our hands, our bodies, our sneezes. But our souls can still connect. And connected, we thrive.
If you are feeling anxious or need to talk to someone, please contact the VBS Counseling Center at 818.784.1414 or our Clergy Department at clergy@vbs.org or 818.788.6000.
