A high-tech, state of the art, center for teens is now open. Its ultimate goal is to get kids to church.

One-Eighty has video games, basketball, Christian music and Internet stations, even a food court.

It's an outreach program by Church on the Move, and it's intended to draw kids to Wednesday night worship services. Youth pastor Blaine Bartel, "Just to try to provide an environment where kids can come hang out, be with friends, be in a great environment and be a part of our services too."

Sapulpa resident, Kelly McKenzie, "I think it's going to be a great outreach. A bunch of people don't have anything to do on Wednesday nights. A lot of games, a lot of food, a lot of friends."

One-Eighty is open Wednesday nights. The only cost is for food, and teens 6th through 12th grades are required to attend a one hour worship service.
