Our Story
It started with one question.
What would it look like if high school students from across Richmond came together around Jesus?
RVA Students started with a simple question: what would it look like if high school students from across Richmond came together around Jesus?
There are amazing youth groups, churches, and students all over our city, but we wanted to create a space where students from different schools, backgrounds, and churches could gather as one.
This is not about one church, one person, or one program. It is about creating a place where students can encounter Jesus, build real friendships, ask honest questions, and grow in their faith.
We are just getting started, and we believe God has something special for students in Richmond.

A Note From The Team

"We want to connect students in Richmond who love Jesus."
Hey friends!
We started RVA Students because we have a heart for connecting students all across Richmond. There are so many teenagers in this city who love Jesus — but most of us have no idea who each other are.
We felt like God kept putting this on our hearts and showing us that Richmond needed something that brought students together. Not another church or another youth group, but a place where students from all over the city could worship Jesus together, build real friendships, and encourage each other in their faith.
Our hope is that RVA Students becomes a place where everyone feels welcome. Whether you've been following Jesus your whole life or you're just curious about who He is — we'd love for you to come. We truly believe God is going to do something incredible through the students of Richmond, and we're excited to see what He has in store.
See you at a gathering soon. ❤️
