Welcome

Join Paul & the
Underground Church!

The Bible comes to life as kids step into the bustling streets of ancient Rome — meeting the Apostle Paul, worshipping with the secret underground church, competing in Roman games, and exploring a marketplace full of crafts, trades, and Bible-times snacks. Three unforgettable nights, all free!

Discover God's Love

One big Bible Point each night, drawn from Paul's letter to the Romans.

Meet Paul

A costumed Apostle Paul leads the rally and tells his story up close.

Experience Bible Times

How It Works
