Vision

Vision of LOFT 180 is to see troubled youth find help and healing through the unconditional love of Christ resulting in transformed lives. 

Mission

Young people will be discipled and be trained to share the love of Christ Jesus, be bold in sharing the gospel, become servant leaders and disciple others for a lifelong impact. The Loft will work with local churches and Christian ministries to help meet the needs of youth in community and to create unity in the body of Christ.
