Our Children’s Ministry Volunteer Launch was a night of rock-n-roll, connection, and celebration! With a fun 1950s theme, a Sundae bar and delicious burgers, and a hula-hoop competition, we had a great time honouring our volunteers, enjoying one another and building community.


But beyond the food, fun, and retro vibes, the core of the evening was about God’s heart for this next generation. We are so grateful for the incredible privilege and responsibility of supporting children to meet face to face with Jesus.

We took time to connect, pray together, and share vision for the year ahead. It was an opportunity to strengthen relationships, encourage one another, and build an even deeper bond across our volunteer teams.

We’re so grateful for each person who serves our children and families. What a JOY to look ahead together and believe for an incredible year in ONE80 Kids!!!

My Bible Reading Journey re-launch!
‘My Bible Reading Journey’ launches for the 2026/2027 school year next Sunday October 4, 2026. Last year we launched ‘My Bible Reading Journey’ for the very first time. Over 120 kids signed up for their very own log book, and we saw kids from as young as 2 years old signing up for the journey and engaging in bible reading. The results were so exciting: Families were working through books of the bible together and a few children averaged more than 2 books a month! We believe the Bible, is the inspired Word of God and serves as the final authority for what we believe and how we live, and to see our young children eagily devouring these pages, is amazing! In Proverbs 22:6 it says, “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when his is old, he will not depart from it.” Teaching our children to read the bible and hide these treasures in their heart (Psalm 119:11), is laying solid foundations for the rest of their lives. My Bible reading journey is a small log book, beautifully designed for kids, that allows you to cross off chapters of the bible as you read them. This allows our kids to track their reading and to see their progress in reading the bible. Once a month we open our prize table, and children can redeem each book read, with a prize from either our ‘short book’ prize tote, ‘medium book’ prize tote, and ‘large book’ prize tote. Some of our ONE80 kids are on track to finish the bible the year! How amazing!!! We re-launch My Bible Reading Journey on October 4. If you have not signed your child up please do so at the ‘My Bible Reading Journey’ table, situated behind the check-in desk, between 10:00am and 10:30am. Children who signed up last year, do not need to sign up again: keep reading the bible and logging your progress in your log books. The Prize totes will also be out on October 4, so children can come and redeem the books that they have read over the summer. So excited to see our kids falling in love with God’s word!

Dads & Lads: A Night Under the Stars
This past weekend, our dads and lads headed out to The Junction for a night of campfires, games, and good old-fashioned fun. There were smokies and s'mores around the fire, pancakes in the morning, and a game of lights and lanterns played out in the dark on Holland Field next door — lads darting through the field while the dads did their best to fend off the swarms coming at them from every direction. A late-night rain shower snuck in and left more than a few guys slipping into soggy shoes the next morning, but it didn't put a damper on the weekend. Lads from every age group hung out together like old friends, and the dads got a night to just be present with their sons. Nights like this are what Dads & Lads is all about — dads and their boys, unplugged, making memories that'll get retold around campfires for years to come. Want in on the next one?

Jesus & Jammies: A First for Our ONE80 Girls
Last Thursday, 24 girls from grades 4 through 7 showed up to The Junction in their comfiest pajamas for something we'd never done before — our first ever Jesus and Jammies night. 💅 It had all the makings of a classic girls' night: painted nails, cozy blankets, and plenty of laughter. But underneath the fun, something deeper was happening. These girls spent the evening being reminded of a simple truth — they are carriers of God's presence. As they head into a new school year, we wanted them to walk away knowing that Jesus doesn't just meet them on a Thursday night at church. He lives in them, every day, everywhere they go. The girls took time to journal and were prayed for individually, creating space for real, personal connection with the Lord. For many of them, it was a quiet and meaningful moment in the middle of a night full of noise and giggles — the kind of moment that sticks with you. We're so grateful for every girl who came in her jammies ready to be known, encouraged, and prayed over. Our hope is that this is a night they carry with them well beyond the start of this school year — a reminder, whenever they need it, that God's presence goes wherever they go.
