The Mission of The 180 Center
Faith based transformation
At The 180 Center, our mission is to provide men with a structured, faith-based path to transformation. We believe that true and lasting change happens through a deep relationship with Jesus Christ. Our goal is to equip men with the tools they need to live purpose-driven lives, guided by faith and integrity.
What We Do
We offer an 18-month Christ-centered discipleship program designed to help men overcome life challenges, grow spiritually, and develop leadership skills. Our approach is rooted in Biblical teachings, community support, and personal accountability. Through structured Bible study, mentorship, and service, we guide participants toward a Christ-centered life of purpose and leadership.
