Types of churches in Rome

Historic Downtown Churches

Centered in the Between the Rivers district near Broad Street, Rome’s historic congregations worship in landmark sanctuaries with stained glass and bell towers. Services tend to be liturgical or traditional, with choirs and community outreach that serves residents who live and work around downtown and along the rivers.

Contemporary Rome Churches

Across West Rome and Garden Lakes, many congregations offer band-led worship, practical teaching, and a casual feel that attracts young families and healthcare professionals from nearby hospitals. Expect modern facilities, strong kids’ programs, and midweek groups timed for commuters along Shorter Avenue and Turner McCall Boulevard.

Rome Churches for Students

With Berry College in Mount Berry and Shorter University on the west side, student-focused congregations shape schedules around the academic calendar. You’ll find rides from campus, late-Sunday services, and small groups geared to undergrads and grad students, plus service projects that connect students to downtown and the river trails.

Spanish Language Churches

Rome’s growing Latino community is served by congregations that offer bilingual or Spanish-only worship, especially in East Rome and neighborhoods south of downtown. These churches often host cultural celebrations, youth ministries in Spanish, and practical outreach for families new to the area.

#LifelongDiscipleship
“Do y'all know that this this is gonna this is gonna sting a little bit? Do you know that discipleship is a lifelong process? Y'all with me on that? Because we really like a six week process. Like, we would really love to just go through a book with you. Hey. Here's your six weeks of the basics. Go do your thing. And that's great. That's a basic study. That's not a discipleship. Discipleship is when that person calls you twenty five years later and says, Hey, my marriage just fell apart, and I need to talk. And you're the one they call. Because that's what discipleship looks like. That's what it looks like to walk with someone. That's what it looks like to invite them on this journey. And then that's what it looks like to equip them to go and do what God built them to do.”

“And my goal and I've told my daughters this. My goal is to be such a loving father and such a godly man at home that I ruin it for every boy that comes to my house. Yeah. That's good. Like, I wanna set the bar so high in how I love them and in how I love their mom Mhmm. That they refuse to settle for an idiot. Yeah. And so I'm I mean, I'm I'm I'm trying to think about legacy already. Yeah. And my daughters are still young, but I'm going, the way I conduct myself at home can and should inform the men that they choose. Mhmm. Which then impacts not just their future marriages, but my grandkids, all of those things.”

“He's the one that comforts us, and you will get through it. God, I wish I knew some way to communicate some word to say to help you understand. If you will take him by the hand, he will guide you and he will comfort you in the most supernatural way that you won't even understand what he's done, but you made it. You made it. And he helps us pray. I don't know how many times I've used this, the scripture that says that when I need to pray and I'm just groaning and moaning because my heart is so heavy and hurts. The moment is so painful and hurtful. I can't even get out the words. Don't I even know what to pray to God. How do you help me get through this? I don't see a way out of this. And the spirit of God says, let me talk to God in your behalf.”

“Fresh off of hearing God's voice. Fresh off seeing who Jesus really is. And immediately, they are faced with a situation they cannot fix. Sometimes we try to fix problems by ourselves. Anybody been there? Because we fixed those problems before. Anybody been there? Because we fixed those problems before. We've got history. Amen? We got history. We got experience. We've got a usual way of doing things. But some situations are designed by God to humble our hands and stretch our hearts.”
46s
“The condition of our heart is directly correlated to the intake of God's word. The condition of your heart is directly correlated to how much you spend in the word of God. All week long, we are fed by all sorts of things. We consume social media, Fox News, We consume negativity and and, worldly thinking. And if we're not feeding on scripture, our heart will drift. We will fall into the ways of this world and away from godly living.”

“So what does it take to get in the swing of Christianity with with with Jesus? Jump in. Jump in. During this time, if you've never given your heart and life to Jesus, our first responders are down here at the front. You can walk to any one of them and say, help me pray that I might fully get in that swing with Jesus. This is your moment. This is why you came today. This is why you're here today. This is your moment. Not to just spectate from where you're at in your seat. Now you've heard the word. Now it's your chance to respond and press into Jesus.”

#MultiplyDisciples
“If you have spent a year with another person and you've taught them everything you can possibly know, but at the end of the day, when they get up and leave, they go back home and are not changed, you have not made a disciple. Anybody hear me? Because a disciple is someone that's gonna go about helping other people follow Jesus. role in discipleship is to help someone grow up in a way that they become a person that goes and invites someone to help someone else follow Jesus.”

#DiscipleshipJourney
“Here's the thing. What if you invited people on the journey that you're on and said, hey. I'm I'm not anywhere close to there yet, but I want you to come with me. Man, I'm just figuring this thing out. I'm just figuring out how to read the Bible myself. How about me and you meet together? Let's start figuring that out together. Man, let's stop using the excuse that, well, I'm I'm not quite ready yet. I haven't quite memorized the entire Bible yet. I don't know every answer. Some of you have that. You don't you don't grab other people and draw them into the process because you don't know every answer to every question ever written. No one does.”
25s
#ReadyToGrow
“But when you get to Matthew chapter 28, Jesus does not say, hey, man, I need you guys to start some more programs. I really need y'all to figure out how to do this more and how to do one of these and and get busier, like like stay as busy as possible all the time. I need y'all to do that. That's not what Jesus says. He says, need you to take your resources, your time, your effort, your energies, and I need you to make me some disciples.”
33s
#SacrificialService
“Because we have a pride thing that we take with us, and we think that we can take over anything in any area and just be us. And here's the thing. If you want to minister to people in certain areas, you have to surrender some of your freedoms to be able to minister to people that God's put you in front of. And the the the biggest pride issue we have in this whole thing is if I say, nah, we're Americans. We can do whatever we want to. Sure you can. But you're not gonna reach anybody with the gospel.”

Why Rome churches are unique

Set at the confluence of the Etowah, Oostanaula, and Coosa rivers, Rome, GA’s geography shapes how churches in Rome gather and serve. Congregations often lean into the outdoors and civic spaces—hosting outdoor baptisms at rivers, leading neighborhood cleanups, and partnering on the riverwalk through community service and river cleanups. The city’s seven hills and preserved downtown also foster reverent settings, with many worshiping in spaces known for historic sanctuaries and stained glass.
As a college town anchored by Berry College and Shorter University, Rome churches meet a steady stream of students, faculty, and young professionals with discipleship and mentorship. You’ll find active college student ministries alongside services that blend tradition and innovation, from modern worship with contemporary band to thoughtful preaching like expository Bible teaching.
Rome’s mix of multigenerational families, healthcare workers, and manufacturing employees creates practical, relational ministries that emphasize care and stability. Many congregations invest deeply in families through strong kids programs for young families, while others reflect the city’s musical and cultural heritage with gospel choir worship and reach newer neighbors through bilingual Spanish services.
