We will all gather in the sanctuary at 5:35pm to kick off each evening with Extollo (meaning "Praise" in Latin).

The kids will then spend time with their Roman Families before rotating through the various centers where God's Word comes ALIVE! - Paul and the Underground Church, Apprenticeship Games, and Rome's Marketplace Shops where kids and adults will deepen their faith by learning about life in the early church including traditional Bible-times customs, occupations, and even sample authentic Roman foods!

Parents, feel free to join us at 7:45pm in the sanctuary for our nightly Extollo time to hear a closing message and sing some new favorite VBS songs!

We appreciate your pre-registration

It helps us plan all the fun details, ensure we have enough supplies, and organize volunteers more effectively.
* Please note that same-day registration will also be available, and nobody will be turned away.

Regardless of your denomination, your children are welcome to join us for five evenings of fun, fellowship, and faith. 

At this highlight-of-the-summer event, kids and adults will be immersed in Bible-times culture where the reality of God's love gains new meaning and relevance to their everyday lives. At ROME VBS, they don't just hear about God's love; they see it, touch it, sing it, taste it, and put it into action - helping them go deeper into their understanding of and relationship with God. Most importantly, everyone will learn that Jesus came to provide a way for us to live with God forever, because He loves us!
