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.

#RenewYourMind
“``But we are called to stand out and look different than the world around us, and it starts with our minds. Don't conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind and the armor of God when you see the helmet of salvation. I've already talked about this a few weeks ago, but God is reminding me over and over that when we put that helmet of salvation on, it should change the way we think. Not only it changes where our thoughts come from, it changes the source of our thoughts. So when we see people, we immediately have a thought about them from the source of the father in us instead of just our minds. And we begin to serve other people and love other people and encourage other people because he's called us to be different than we've always been.”

“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.”

“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.”

#HumilityAndService
“``This is what we learn about Jesus. Jesus humbles himself to the point of dying on the cross for us. And you and I have to hear that and understand that our attitude about coming to church must be, man, how can I put in? How can I give? How can I support? How can I help the church achieve the mission? Because we're gonna find out today that all of us have a part to play. All of us have a gift to offer. All of us have things that God has put in us for the the the growing of this body. So the first question you have to ask yourself today is your attitude an attitude of service toward the church.”

#LiveLikeChristDaily
“``I don't go to church. I don't read the bible. I don't do anything for God. And your your lifestyle looks just like my lifestyle. Listen to me. People outside the church don't need your help looking like they already look. They don't need an example of what it looks like to be lost. They don't need an example of what it looks like to not follow Christ. They don't need more examples of that examples of that. So if you wanna help the church achieve its mission, then when you leave the church, act like the church. When you're living in your world on Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday all during the week, you gotta look like Christ then too.”

#LayDownYourIdols
“``And what I've been praying is that God would remove every idol, every idol. We talked about this a few weeks ago. An idol becomes something it becomes an idol when you begin to worship it. So your money is not an idol because you have money. Your money becomes an idol when you begin to worship your money. Your vehicles, your house, your things, your relationships, all the things that they're not idols until we make them idols. But our hope is, and my hope is that this morning, we would lay it all on the table and say, God, it it all belongs to you. You do what you want to with it. I offer my body as a living sacrifice.”

#StandOutFromTheWorld
“``Here's what I want you to hear in that passage right there as we as we read this, and my mind's running like crazy this morning and lots of things that we're gonna get to, but don't conform any longer to the pattern of this world. Here's what we have to understand. If you wanna help the church achieve its mission, you have to be living different than the world around you. Anybody know that? When it says, don't conform any longer to the pattern of this world. One of our struggles in churches one of our struggles in churches is that people in the church, when they leave the church, they live their lives outside of the church just like those that didn't come.”

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.
