Come as You Are. Let’s Grow Together.

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

We center love, justice, and radical inclusion. 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, you don’t have to fit a mold to belong.

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

Middle School Venue

6th–8th Graders
Sundays during the 10–11am service

We’ve created a space just for middle schoolers to explore faith in a fun, thoughtful way. Expect a short lesson, video, time to ask questions—and yes, there will be waffles.

High School Venue

9th–12th Graders
Sundays, 11am–12pm (right after service)

After the 10am service, high school students meet up for honest conversations, engaging content, and room to ask questions. And of course—plenty of snacks.

Students Venue Events

We host monthly gatherings for 6th–12th graders outside of Sunday mornings—ranging from fun hangouts to service projects and deeper connection opportunities. Check out | What’s Happening | to see whats’s coming up and register for future Students Venue events.

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.
