Nero is Emperor. Paul is under house arrest but is still free to welcome visitors into his home. Christianity is spreading quickly, but expressing a belief in “the Way” is growing increasingly dangerous. This Vacation Bible School will immerse learners of all ages in the life and culture of ancient Rome, allowing them to explore what it might have been like to live, work, and worship Jesus in Rome during the early 60s AD.

Each night will begin and end with a brief time of singing. Groups will gather in their “Roman family”, put on their Family sashes, look at the day’s Bible lesson, and prepare for their travel through Rome. Each day Families will visit Paul, sneak off to the underground church, and visit the Marketplace.

Along the way, Families will encounter Roman guards, a Senator, and a slave, and many other characters. Each day a “real life” drama will take place, connecting the Bible lesson to their experience in Rome. The book of Romans will serve as a framework for the Bible lessons.

Don’t miss it! Kids ages 3-18 are invited to join us as we “make ourselves at home in Rome”!
