Why attend 180?

180 Weekend is a great opportunity for students to grow in their relationship with God and with one another.


This weekend will include...

  • Worship sessions at Parkwood Baptist Church (host site for main sessions) where they will hear practical expositional teaching from God’s word.
  • Intentional small group times where they will dive deeper into what they are learning.
  • Missions projects that serve our local community.
  • Games where they will build relationships with one another throughout the weekend.


Our prayer is that this weekend becomes a milestone in your student’s life where they experience God’s righteousness and love in a new way and grow in their relationship with Christ. We have seen God do amazing things in students’ lives as a result of this weekend and look forward to seeing Him do it again!
