Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.- Matthew 28:19-20
At the Project 180 Leadership Institute we embrace the Great Commission. Our goal is to provide an environment that nurtures the talents, abilities, and interests that God has place in each of us along with a variety of outlets to use them to minister to others. Training and equipping futures is accomplished here with hands-on ministry experience, a fully accredited college education, and most importantly helping students to foster a deeper relationship with God. Our program last for nine months, beginning in August and ending in May.
Our students participate in various ministries both at our base church, Christ Chapel, and across the country. We engage in all types of ministries. This year we have been actively involved in childrens churches, music ministry, dramas and skits, media and graphic design, domestic missionary outreaches, veterans services, youth ministries and other church services around the country.
Project 180 offers a dual enrollment with Valley Forge Christian College Woodbridge Campus. What this means is that students are not only gaining great ministry training and discipleship but also a fully accredited bachelor's degree. Majors offered at Valley Forge Christian College range from theology to business administration to psychology to children's education. There are a large variety of fields and disciples covered by the majors offered at Valley Forge. Credits are transferable to any accredited college or university.
The main focus of our program is to build a deeper relationship with God. Students begin the day with devotion to God. Prayer and Bible study are a focus for students as well. Lessons and classes center around deep Biblical topics to help disciple and build students stronger in the things of God. Students also attend weekly Bible studies, church services, along with their own independent "quiet time" with God.
The Project 180 Leadership Institute is a leadership and discipleship program like none other. We want to help our students seek God in such a way that not only is a deeper relationship formed, but they see the great power that they have through Him. Students from around the world have come to Project 180 and unlocked their new identity in Christ. Our goal is not only to see students changed forever but to impact the world as that change. An accredited college education, hands-on ministry experience, missions trips and outreach, and relationships that can last a lifetime.

Project 180 Leadership Institute is an amazing program. I love every moment of it because I am learning and developing myself as a woman of God. I enjoy doing ministry and reaching out to help others in need in the community! I can truly said this program has matured me. Most importantly, it brought me closer God and helped me discover my identity in Him.
Angie 3rd Year Student
Project 180 Leadership Institute has been a major blessing in my life. The reason why is because I came to know Jesus Christ in Project 180. I came from a background of not knowing who I truly was in life. Being in Project 180 has taught me how to respect myself and others around me. It has stretched me to be the person that God wants me to be! I have also gained a family in Christ that loves me for me! I LOVE PROJECT 180!

Project 180 has allowed me to both grow closer to God and discover more about His plan for my life. I have had a lot of things happen to me that made think that God would not use me. Since I have been here God has been showing Himself to me and using me in new ways! Being at Project 180 is allowing me to receive my education while learning about myself and Jesus Christ.
