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 if you're a part of the Student Ministry Team (SMT), we meet monthly.
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.
There will be NO Riot on December 26 or January 2.
Wednesday Nights (during the school year)
Occasionally each Huddle group plans a Huddle Night Out where they meet off-campus together for a special, fun activity or for a local service project.
Our next Huddle Night Out will be December 5, 2018. Parents are responsible for drop off and pick up at the various locations.
