Explore what it was like to follow Jesus when the church was just beginning.
Each day begins with high-energy worship designed just for kids. Through music, movement, and Scripture, kids will celebrate who God is and anchor themselves in the daily Bible truth. Extollo sets the tone for the day — joyful, engaging, and focused on Jesus.
Every child is placed in a consistent small group called a “Roman Family,” led by caring leaders who stay with them throughout the week. This is where friendships grow, questions are asked, Scripture is discussed, and kids process what they’re learning in a personal way.
Kids will step into first-century Rome and interact with Paul while he is under house arrest. Through live storytelling and immersive moments, they’ll experience what it was like to follow Jesus in a time when the church met secretly. These dramatic, faith-building sessions help bring the book of Romans to life in a way kids will never forget.
These aren’t just relay races — they’re Bible-times inspired team challenges! Kids will participate in hands-on, high-energy activities that connect to daily lessons. Think teamwork challenges, skill-based games, and interactive fun designed to reinforce the theme of the day while building friendships and confidence.
Kids will rotate through immersive Marketplace shops that feel like stepping into ancient Rome. Each shop is hands-on and experience-based. Depending on the day, kids might:
• Try carpentry
• Create wreaths
• Practice being a scribe
• Visit a food shop
• Make meaningful crafts connected to the lesson
These shops help kids learn by doing — not just listening — making the Bible feel tangible and memorable.
