MissionYear: Christian Discipleship & Missions Gap Year

Not sure the traditional 4-year college path is right for you? Maybe you’re unsure what to study, craving real-world experience, or wanting a year that actually means something. If that sounds like you, Touch the World’s MissionYear offers a purposeful, meaningful way forward. MissionYear is a discipleship and missions intensive designed for young adults who want to grow in their faith, discover their gifts, serve others, and gain clarity about their future. Throughout the program, students have the option to earn up to 30 college credits while living in intentional community. Students will develop spiritual and practical life rhythms, learn more about their unique personality and gifts, and practice living out their faith in community. They will apply what they’ve learned through intentional action, exploring culture and poverty through weekly service with local ministries and a month-long immersion in Uganda. The program also includes training in spiritual leadership and guided reflection to help students discern their next steps after MissionYear. Please note: We do not assist with visas, and students must be able to travel internationally to our global partner locations.

The Gap Year Program is an intensive, community building, Christ-centered experience that will serve you well as you journey through life. The Gap Year takes intentional time to develop community into what God calls us to have as Christians: building each other up, supporting each other, creating a safe space for all to share, and holding one another accountable. The Gap Year also take time to refine our practical life skills so that we will be successful when we hit the real world. Not only that, but the Gap Year teaches us to strengthen our relationship with God through daily quiet time and through studying the character of God. With more included, the Gap Year is highly recommended for young adults heading into the world.
