We’re halfway through the summer already, and many of us across the country are still making preparations for VBS 2019 to kick off at our local churches, but Group VBS (the masterminds behind 2019’s Roar! theme) just announced their theme for next summer, and it has us all ready to climb aboard to experience mountains of fun as we discover the Savior that pulls us through all of life’s ups and downs!
Rocky Railway is an action packed week long curriculum that pulls us through life’s mountains big and small and reveals to us the amazing power of Jesus Christ, who helps us power through the ups and downs we all may experience through our own personal lives. Children will discover amazing truths as they trek through the Imagination Station, Loco Motion Games, Kid Vid Cinema and a dining experience at the Chew Chew snack station.
Here’s a look at the promo video they just released to help you get a good picture of what next year’s adventure is going to look like!

PLEASE PASS ON THE VBS LOVE!
After your VBS has come to an end, please reach out to a fellow church in your area to see if they could use your leftover VBS supplies. Many churches (often small congregations) elect to not have a VBS because funding is too tight. Just think about all of the additional children that could be presented with the gospel because donated decor made VBS at a church possible!
Have you already started daydreaming about the fun locomotive adventure you and your church will be taking during the summer of 2020 with Rocky Railway VBS from Group? Do you have additional decor ideas you’d like to share? I’ve always loved VBS so much, and I love sharing helpful tips and tricks to help make your VBS a success!
I don’t know if this is the appropriate way to do this but does anyone have decorations from last year for Rocky Railway? I am a fairly new VBS director at a small church in east Texas. I need all the help I can get. Thanks!
Hi Patricia!
Rocky Railway was released this year, so this is the first year it is being offered. You won’t be able to find any RR materials from last year, but you may be able to partner with a nearby church doing the same theme and ask if they would be willing to pass along any of their decor to you. Our church has had great luck doing that in the past. Best of luck to you!
