Summer Means Vacation Bible School


The origins of Vacation Bible School can be traced back to Hopedale, Illinois in 1894. D.T. Miles, who had been a public school teacher before her marriage, continued to teach Sunday School but felt she was limited by time constraints in teaching the Bible to children.

Miles started a daily Bible School to teach children during the summer months. The first Bible School enrolled 40 students and lasted for four weeks. Vacation Bible School is still an effective tool 113 years later.
