What We Love about Rome
"I love Rome VBS! The Holy Land Adventure VBS themes are so engaging and transformative for a child to not view scripture as a storybook, but real events with real people. I am excited for kids and families attending this Rome to step into the world of the early church with hands-on experiences in the Marketplace Shops, engaging storytelling, and life-changing truths from the book of Romans. It's an unforgettable family faith experience that brings the Bible to life." - Lauren M., Concordia Supply VBS Expert

Finally, everyone gathers for singing, fun, and more! 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 about God's love. Kids will discover that 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.
Make sure kids leave VBS with the most important gift, God's Word!
