180 Ministries

Turning Students Toward Christ

Our Vision: Building a community to reach a community.

We are all on a journey heading somewhere. 180 Ministries wants to be on a journey toward God. At Blackhawk Church we believe the journey is about ordinary people... knowing God, following Christ, and making an impact. Our programs are focused on helping students take the next step in this journey. We recognize that students are at different places in their relationship with God. Our desire is to offer a community that is open and accessible to all students no matter where they may be on their spiritual journey.

Up All Night 2007Each of the programs we offer is designed to meet the spiritual needs of different students and challenge them to more passionately pursue their relationship with God. Read a short summary of each of our programs via the links in the box.
