Be Curious. Be You. Be Loved.
A safe, inclusive, and affirming space for kids and teens—birth through high school—to explore faith, ask big questions, be their full selves, and learn what it means to love and serve others. In Family Venue, we’re not afraid of the hard questions or the messy middle. We create space for growth, community, and real conversations—because becoming who you are is a journey worth taking together.

Our Core Values

Love is a Verb
We don’t just talk about love—we live it. Through kindness, service, and showing up for one another.
Everyone is Welcome
No matter your background, story, or questions—you belong here, exactly as you are.
Questions Are Good
Asking “why?” is holy work. We believe doubt, curiosity, and wonder are part of faith.
Learning is a Process
We grow at our own pace. Family Venue is a grace-filled space to learn, try, and try again.

Family Venue Background Check

The Venues

The Venues church. A gathering of people based in Springfield, Missouri, that gathers together and then scatters out into our community to pursue and accomplish the spiritual and social ambition of Jesus Christ. We gather as a church to seek truth, follow Jesus and ask questions together so we can be “venues” through which the Holy Spirit expresses the life of Jesus. Our ultimate mission is to connect people through authentic relationships to experience the love and grace of Jesus.
