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, more than 100 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. | Valley Avon
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.
