A Post-College Christian Gap Year Program
The Fellowship is a year-long discipleship program equipping recent college graduates to faithfully navigate their next steps in life.
Did college prepare you spiritually to encounter the world as an adult?
Is this you?
- You’re about to finish your college degree.
- You feel pressured to dive into the workplace but don’t feel you are spiritually equipped.
- You want to live a life faithful to God’s calling and desire additional spiritual development.

Travel
International travel will expose The Fellowship participants to an awareness of divergent world views. Experiential learning through international travel opens doors for global relationships and important cross-cultural training for ministry.

As an old proverb says, “To learn, read. To know, write. To master, teach.” As a way to foster learning, The Fellowship participants will become the teacher using the storyline of the Bible as their disciple-making strategy. The best way to learn something is to teach it.
