A MINISTRY FOR YOUTH IN GRADES 6-12
180 Youth is a place where teens can grow in their faith, build meaningful friendships, and discover God’s purpose for their lives. Through engaging discussions, Bible study, and fun activities, we encourage students to turn from the world’s ways, live boldly for Christ, and follow Him wholeheartedly. It’s a judgment-free space where everyone is loved, valued, and empowered to deepen their relationship with Jesus.
