Finally, everyone gathers for singing and announcements. This unique, hands-on approach to Bible learning is one that kids and adults won’t soon forget.
Each day, kids will visit Paul, under house arrest, and explore five powerful truths from the book of Romans: God's love is a gift, it changes us, it's always with us, it saves us, and it's meant to be shared. These lessons are woven into every activity, helping kids understand and respond to the Gospel in a way that's personal, memorable, and transformative.
Rome VBS transforms your church into a bustling ancient city—complete with Marketplace shops, costumed volunteers, and house churches. Kids are fully immersed in Paul's world as they explore Roman culture and walk alongside the early Christians, experiencing the lives of the Underground Church.
