Moving to Two Sunday Gatherings

One of our values at the180 is and always has been to make room for those who need a fresh understanding of Jesus, His love, and the joy of living as those formed by the truth of the Bible.

Since our launch seven years ago, the180 has continued to grow in diverse ways as we have seen many find their place and commit to loving God and our community and seen ongoing growth in our weekly attendance. In light of this, we are very excited to launch two Sunday morning worship gatherings beginning this fall! Excited that the extra room allows for kids to be part of musical worship with family and friends before the are later dismissed.

When is the launch date?

The launch date for two gatherings is September 17, 2023. Sign up to our eBulletin to stay connected.

What will the times be of the two Sunday gatherings?

Our Sunday morning gatherings will start at 9:00am and 11:00am.

How will this affect Kids Zone?

We will have Kids Zone during both gatherings. Sign-in will open at the Kids Zone check-in desk 10 minutes before each gathering. We're also excited that the extra room in the gatherings allows for kids to be part of the musical worship with family and friends before they're dismissed.

When will coffee be served?

Coffee will be served between the two gatherings.

Where can I park?

The usual parking options remain. However to help ease traffic, we ask those who will be attending the 9:00am gathering to park in the parking lot across the street (P2 on the diagram below), diagonal to our front entrance (but not in the parking lot beside us).


How will this affect the YouTube Live channel?

Our Sunday Gatherings will now go live at 11:00am, and then saved to our channel to watch at a later time or date.

How can I pray?

We would deeply appreciate your prayers for our pastors, elders, staff, serve teams and leaders as we continue to prepare, make adjustments and work out the details for this launch in many different ways – a process which is already well underway.

How else can I help?

Along with your prayers, a key way to help if you are not already serving is to find a place to serve to partner with us in welcoming new people and helping them find their place. Join a serve team here!

Finally, would you continue to celebrate with us how God is moving in our church and in our community as we invite others to know Jesus’ love.

Stay tuned for updates from our worship gatherings!

Kids Ministry Update

Dear 180 Families,

Over the past few weeks, we have seen some historic things take place in our church community. Most importantly, we have had a record high attendance over this last month. We are so thankful for you and your invitation to others to explore church and Jesus with us. This includes new families and new kids excited to be at church. 

Our elders and staff are praying and working on a plan to create more room and space not only in our main gathering area, but also in our KidsZone space. 

For the next few weeks, beginning May 7th, we are inviting the kids from 0 years old to Grade 6 to now join us in the KidsZone areas as soon as they are checked in. We will not have our regular dismissal time for the kids during the main worship. This will help create more space in the main gathering area. It will also create some time to learn as the elders and staff create a more consistent plan as we move into the Fall.  

We value your kids having worship time and seeing you, as their parents, worship Jesus. This value remains important and we know that your kids enjoy listening to the worship time alongside you. Please help us  and pray as we navigate this season of growth and change at the180 with this value in mind.

For the next few weeks, the kids will be having their own worship time in the KidsZone along with their learning time. We ask that you encourage your child(ren) to participate and make the most of their time in the KidsZone during this season of growth and change. 

Thank you for your cooperation. We are excited for what the future holds for the180 Church.
