WVBS is not under the oversight of a congregation or eldership but is under the oversight of a seven man board of directors.  That board of trustees is made up of elders, preachers and teachers of the Lord’s church.  They have many years of managerial and business experience between them.

WVBS is not the church, but exists to serve the church, and to stand on its own independent of any congregation of the Lord's church?  We believe we may biblically operate as a non-profit corporation existing to provide Bible study material to individuals and churches interested in using it in their work.

It is our conviction, based upon study of God's word that we have authority, from God, to engage in any occupation which does not violate His will.  For example, since it is acceptable to God for Christians to combine their efforts and operate a business independent of the church, such as a religious book store or a publishing company, it is acceptable for WVBS to in fact exist as an independent business to produce and sell or distribute video and written Bible study material at the lowest price possible.

We want to assure everyone our goal is now the same as it has always been B to serve God and His people by doing His will to the best of our ability.  We are committed to continue producing and distributing excellent quality, scripturally sound, inexpensively priced Bible study material on video and the written page.  We have a genuine desire to glorify the Father, His beloved Son, His word and His blood-bought church and not to glorify ourselves or any other men!

If WVBS were to ever dissolve, federal and state laws require that all of the assets, including cash, be distributed to other non-profit entities.  In our case, we would see that the assets were distributed to faithful Churches of Christ.  It is illegal for any of the board members or employees of WVBS to receive any WVBS assets.
