Our Gap Program is rooted in experience-led discipleship, connecting biblical truth with daily life, meaningful work, and intentional community.
Through hands-on experiences on a working ranch, students grow in confidence, responsibility, and faith while discovering how God has uniquely gifted them.
Life in the Gap Program is intentionally balanced. Students learn the value of hard work while also building friendships, enjoying community, and finding time to rest and reflect.

Work groups are designed to teach responsibility and work ethic while helping students discover strengths they may not have realized they had. Through this process, faith becomes connected to daily life, effort, and purpose.
The Gap Program supports the whole person—spiritually, practically, and personally.
