As the high school ministry of Grace Church, 180 teaches students that life is about Christ (Colossians 1:28–29). Our desire is to see students come to true saving faith in Jesus Christ and grow in love, obedience, delight, evangelistic zeal, and service for His glory. We seek to accomplish this through the regular preaching of God’s Word and small group discipleship, which takes place weekly through our Sunday morning service and Wednesday evening Bible studies.
Through intentional investment, we strive to walk with young people as they mature into adulthood and see this season in a teenager’s life as vital toward forming spiritual convictions through understanding, applying, and cherishing God’s Word.
