Middle Schoolers: Come join a group that has been formed and fashioned completely for you! At Valley's Avon Campus, you and your friends can come together, be yourselves, have fun, and get to know God.
Every week, over 130 students (Grades 6-8) just like you gather from all over. We meet for Amp40 and Amp70 on Sundays and for Riot on Wednesdays (during the school year). And the Student Ministry Team (SMT) meets on a monthly basis.
Check out the Upcoming Events page for the current schedule.
Wednesday Nights
Wednesday Nights (during the school year) | 7-8:45 p.m. | Avon Campus | Fellowship Hall
At Riot, students engage in fun activities and hear Bible teaching relevant to their everyday lives. Students then break into small groups called "Huddles," where they become more acquainted with their peers and leaders as they encourage each other in their faith. Invite your friends! No need to register.
Wednesday Nights (during the school year)
Occasionally, each Huddle group plans a Huddle Night Out where they meet off-campus for a special, fun activity or service project.
Our next Huddle Night Out is February 13.
This week, Riot is taking their show on the road with Huddle Night Out! Please note the location and time for your child's group below. Friends are welcome! New to Riot? Join us! Please note that your student will need money for food/activities at the venue noted below. Please visit the website of the venue to determine the appropriate amount needed for your student. Drop-off and pick-up is at the venue.
