OneEighty
This is an entry-level night, where friends can invite friends to come and have a fun night filled with cool games, crazy challenges, incredible worship, strong Scripture, empowering teaching, and a time to build real community with other students.
Please take a look at our schedule below for dates and times. We look forward to seeing you there.
We meet every Sunday evening from 6pm-8pm at Heritage Church in Founders.
*Please check the main church calendar for updates regarding cancellations.
Events
Every once in a while we have a big event at OneEighty. This is a time where we take students out of their everyday norm and go Nerd Bowling, have a Photo Scavenger Hunt, or something of the like. It’s a great way to break up the routine and go out to have fun with other students. Events are also a great first step to inviting friends to OneEighty. Events are a low-key, fun-focused time.
*If no events are listed below, please check back often for updates and new events.
Outreach & Service
The Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20) is one of the foundational building blocks of our Student Ministry. Outreach & Service is accomplished through attempting to reconcile people back to God. This is done through the presentation of the Gospel of Jesus Christ and helping people to understand and apply this Good News to their daily lives.
“After saying this, he spit on the ground, made some mud with the saliva, and put it on theman’s eyes. 7 “Go,” he told him, “wash in the Pool of Siloam” (this word means “Sent”). So the man went and washed, and came home seeing.” -John 9:6-7
We use this verse to remind our students that sometimes in order to serve others we must be willing to get dirty. We provide different avenues of Outreach & Service for our students to participate in; from walking the streets of Downtown Denver to speak with the homeless and serving at the Denver Rescue Mission, to walking the streets of Castle Rock to pick up trash.
Upcoming Outreach & Service Opportunities:
In the Summer of 2011 our Student Ministry partnered with Sharps Corner Church on the Pine Ridge Native American Reservation to help in growing and sustaining a Summer Camp for 6 to 19 year old students who live on the Reservation. We are committed to returning to the Reservation at different times throughout each year. These ministries we are partnering with exists to combat the heart-breaking statistics that plague the Reservation. Our philosophy for Student Missions is to Teach, Evangelize, Accept, and Minister to the people on the Reservation and at the same time constantly growing as a T.E.A.M. and individually.
Our Next Trip will be This Summer:
When: Saturday, October 15th through Wednesday, October 19th, 2011. We will be serving at the Oglala Re-Creation Center in Oglala, South Dakota on the Pine Ridge Resevarvation.

Campus Missions
Students reaching students is one of the goals of our Student Ministry. Empowering students to become campus missionaries helps enable them to accept personal responsibility to reach the lost of their generation in their own schools. By making campus missions a priority, students can live out their faith today and develop a deeper ownership of their beliefs that will last later in life.
A Campus Missionary commits to:
PRAY daily for friends, teachers, school administrators, and others who need Jesus’ hope.
LIVE a real, consistent Christian faith by reading, studying, and memorizing God’s Word and spending time in personal worship.
TELL his/her friends about Jesus.
SERVE in or begin an active campus club.
GIVE time and finances to promote Jesus’ hope globally.
Currently our students have started a Campus Missionary Club called YouthAlive at Douglas County High School. This ministry extends to all other schools in our district, such as Castle View High School and Rock Canyon High School.
Current Meeting Times are as follows:
Douglas County High School – Meets every other Thursday morning during Husky Hour. On the ‘off’ weeks, it will take place at a local students house. Please check back often, as we will update this information with times, locations, and addresses.
Youth Alive One Month Challenge
Youth Alive has been issuing the One Month Challenge for over a year now. The One Month Challenge is straightforward and simple: students visibly carry their Bibles with them to school, shopping, on a date, studying, to movie theaters, to friends’ houses – EVERYWHERE for One Month.

Some of our students at Heritage have taken this one step further by issuing a further response, asking “Why Stop after One Month!?” What’s next? How can I continue this effort? Keep carrying your Bibles and look for opportunities to show and share the love of Christ.
Heritage Students are calling this awakening C.B.A.S. (Carrying Bibles Around School). One Heritage student says, “CBAS is a simple tool that we hope is going to spark a relolution in our public schools today. Simply put: we carry our bibles everywhere we go, never putting them in our backpacks, or in our lockers, and reading them as often as we can. Students are not used to seeing other students carrying Bibles everyday, so they ask questions and it provides us with a great opportunity to share the gospel of Jesus Christ with students that we never thought we could reach. CBAS also keeps us mentally in check with God’s Word, strengthening our personal faiths through action. CBAS also inspires young believers, reminding them that our faith is public, not hidden, and simple to practice, rather than complicated. CBAS is not complicated, it’s a very simple idea that has grown into something that is now changing the lives of students in our schools and strengthening the youth of our generation. I am proud to be apart of the relvolution that is taking up our schools like a storm!” -Jonathan Chadwick, Douglas County High School
Check out this video our students created that shows what CBAS is all about!
Have questions, such as “Can I legally carry my bible to school?”
Students’ First Amendment rights include the right to distribute Gospel tracts during non-instructional time, the right to wear shirts communicating Christian messages and symbols, and the right to pray and discuss matters of religion with others. Further, schools may not prevent students from bringing their Bibles to school. In fact, school officials must allow students to read their Bibles during free time, even if that free time occurs during class. The standard that must be applied by the school is: Does the activity “materially or substantially disrupt school discipline?” Unless a student is disruptive, the school must refrain from interfering with their religious activities.
