Come as you are. Let’s grow together.

Students Venue is a safe, inclusive space where young people can explore faith, ask big questions, and grow together.

We center love, justice, and radical inclusion. We believe life, faith, and identity are all a journey, not a destination. Whether you’re full of doubts, grew up in church, or aren’t sure what you believe at all, you don’t have to fit a mold to belong. You are welcome here.

No pressure. No judgment. Just real conversations, lasting friendships, and a community that genuinely cares.
Come hang out with us!

Middle School Venue

6th–8th Graders
Join us every Sunday during the 10–11am service for a fun and thoughtful time created just for middle schoolers. We’ll dive into a lesson, watch a video, ask big questions and yes, there will be waffles.

High School Venue

9th–12th Graders
Right after our 10am service (11am–12pm.), high schoolers can expect meaningful conversation, engaging content, time to ask questions, and yes, a bunch of snacks!

We also have regularly scheduled events for Students Venues (6th-12th graders) to get together each month.

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.
