I’m thrilled to announce our 2027 Answers VBS theme: Spy U: Uncovering Counterfeits, Discovering the One True God. Our VBS team does an incredible job choosing themes each year that are relevant to our culture, are filled with deep biblical truths, equip children to stand strong, and are evangelistic. And 2027 is no exception!

When kids—“cadets”—attend Spy U, they’ll discover there are many counterfeit views of gods but only one true God as they uncover the nature of our Creator God and learn to spot the fakes.

When kids—“cadets”—attend Spy U, they’ll discover there are many counterfeit views of gods but only one true God as they uncover the nature of our Creator God and learn to spot the fakes. It’s a spy-adventure–themed VBS that shows kids the emptiness of religious pluralism and vague “spirituality” by pointing them to the one true God, whom we know from his Word.

For you are great and do wondrous things;
  you alone are God. (Psalm 86:10)

They’ll use their detective skills to find out that:

  • God is unique because he is the only true God—the Creator God. They’ll uncover counterfeit views of gods and discover the God of the Bible.
  • God is unique because he is one God in three persons. They’ll be on the lookout throughout the Scriptures for those persons—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
  • God is unique because he himself came to earth to rescue us. Kids will be challenged to admit, believe, and forever receive Jesus Christ as their Savior.
  • God is unique and beyond description! Kids will crack codes to track down some of his attributes.
  • God is unique because he wants to have a personal relationship with us. Kids will learn their mission: to keep God as their first love.

Through lessons, music, games, snacks, crafts, and science experiments—yes, everything is designed to point kids toward the truth—kids will discover there’s no one like our God, as he’s unique and set apart from the counterfeits our world has to offer.

As with every Answers VBS, Spy U will feature apologetics content to help kids know why we believe what we believe as Christians.

  • There’s only one true God. All others are counterfeits.
  • The Trinity is a reality but also a mystery.
  • The biggest difference between Christianity and other religions is who Jesus is.
  • God’s character is like no other.
  • Unlike other religions, our God is about relationship. He is loving and personal.

I encourage you to welcome the kids in your church and community to Spy University next summer to help them discover the truth about God—it’s the most vital message in the universe!

Spy U is now available for preorder at the lowest price it will be offered—25% off! Preorder a kit now to receive this special discount, along with a free themed tumbler and early access to the music and leader guides as soon as they’re released.

I consider Answers VBS the most powerful VBS in the world. We hear from many Christian leaders that they’ve never seen so many trust Christ for salvation until using our VBS.

Ken
