Wilderness Trip - Beginning The Journey

The year begins with an unforgettable wilderness trip where students step away from the noise of everyday life and unplug from screens. In God’s creation, they’ll share adventures that build deep friendships, learn to rely on one another, and prepare their hearts and minds for the year ahead. This intentional time away sets the foundation for growth, community, and dependence on the Lord.

Courses & Learning Together

Throughout the year, students will engage in courses designed to challenge their minds, stretch their faith, and equip them with practical tools for life and ministry. Each course is rooted in Scripture and built to encourage spiritual maturity, leadership development, and personal responsibility. From learning how to study the Bible deeply, to exploring theology, leadership, and service, these courses are meant to shape both the heart and the mind.

Capstone Project - Looking Ahead

The Gap Year concludes with a meaningful capstone project in the spring. Students will take everything they’ve learned and prayerfully seek God’s direction for what comes next - whether that’s college, ministry, missions, or another calling. Each student will craft and present a 30 minute presentation, sharing how God has been at work in their life and where He may be leading them next. It’s both a celebration of growth and a launching point into the future.
