RIOT IS SPECIFICALLY FOR YOUTH AGES 12-18.

RIOT TAKES PLACE EACH WEDNESDAY AT 7PM.

WE END AT 8:30!

(BUT WE USUALLY HANG AROUND UNTIL 9—SO YOU CAN PICKUP YOUR TEEN ANYWHERE BETWEEN 8:30 AND 9 😆🥳)

FAITH CHAPEL SYRACUSE

4113 W. SENECA TURNPIKE

SYRACUSE, NY

WE MEET IN THE RIOT ROOM LOCATED IN THE CHILDREN’S AREA.

PLEASE ENTER THROUGH THE OFFICE ENTRANCE (IT’S THE FIRST DOOR YOU’LL SEE TO THE RIGHT AS YOU DRIVE OVER THE SPEED BUMP)!

OUR GOAL IS TO CONNECT WITH THE TEENS ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, HAVE FUN, AND TO LEAD THEM DEEPER IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD.

WE START EACH WEDNESDAY WITH A LITTLE FREE TIME TO GET SETTLED IN AND COMFORTABLE.

FIRST TIME VISITORS—we ask all students to fill out an emergency contact form in the event that we need to get ahold of the parent/guardian. (plus, we make it a point to connect with the students outside of RIOT to pour into them, encourage them, and see how we can best support them as leaders—so contact information is very helpful!)

SOME SORT OF FUN ACTIVITY! IF THE WEATHER PERMITS, WE LOVE TO GO OUTSIDE, RUN AROUND, AND PLAY SOME COMPETITIVE GAMES. WHEN THE WEATHER IS NOT PERMITTING, WE PLAY GAMES THAT ENGAGE CREATIVITY, TEAM WORK, AND BRAIN POWER!

BATHROOM/SNACK BREAK. ON A GIVEN WEDNESDAY, WE SERVE SNACKS/REFRESHMENTS LIKE POPCORN, CHIPS, WATER, LEMONADE/ICED TEA, OR HOT COCOA! OCCASIONALLY WE WILL HAVE MEALS OR SPECIAL TREATS TO CELEBRATE DESERVING OCCASIONS!

A MESSAGE. EACH WEEK, OUR LEADERS WILL SHARE A BRIEF MESSAGE—OFTEN FOCUSING ON INSPIRING THE TEENS TO HUNGER AFTER GOD AND HIS KINGDOM, TO LIVE A HOLY LIFE, AND TO FALL MORE IN LOVE WITH JESUS. MANY TIMES AFTER THE MESSAGE, WE WILL SPEND SOME TIME ANSWERING QUESTIONS/DISCUSSING WHAT WE TALKED ABOUT

TIME TO SPARE. ANY EXTRA TIME WE HAVE LEFT, WE LIKE TO CONTINUE THE FUN AND HANG OUT WITH THE TEENS UNTIL PARENTS COME FOR PICK UP!
