History
Originally, Bendale’s Youth Ministry started in 1972 as One Way Inn Coffee House, featuring local Christian bands, including The Daniel Band. Today, One Way Inn has taken the form of Drop-ins and youth activities for those in grades 5 through university. Whatever form it has taken, it has always been a “Place to meet Friends” and a place to meet Jesus!
Did you miss the concert to celebrate the One Way Inn’s 50th anniversary and the 40th anniversary of the Daniel Band’s First album? Watch it here:
