The Go Year of Discipleship is a transformative gap year program for 18-22 year-olds to find clarity, build community, and earn college credit while exploring the world.
You love God. You want your life to matter. But you’re not sure how faith fits into your future, your career, or the decisions in front of you. You’re not looking for a year off. You’re looking for a year that actually shapes who you become.
The GO Year is for students who are ready to intentionally pursue a deeper relationship with God, alongside a community doing the same. This is where direction begins to take form, where faith becomes your own, and where you become the disciple God created you to be.
This is not a pause in life. It’s preparation for it. The GO Year of Discipleship is a 12-month, immersive experience designed to help you become deeply rooted in your faith and confident in your calling. Through biblical education, vocational training, hands-on experience, intentional community, and real-world challenges, you’ll grow into the man or woman God created you to be. You won’t just learn about faith. You’ll live it. You’ll ask real questions, take meaningful steps, and build a foundation that lasts long after the year ends.
A year with purpose: every part of the GO Year is intentionally designed to shape how you think, live, and lead.
Faith isn’t meant to be lived in a bubble. It’s meant to be tested in the wild. Throughout the year, you’ll step into environments that challenge you, stretch you, and grow your perspective.
From local mission experiences to an international trip to Turkey, you’ll encounter different cultures, new realities, and moments that deepen your understanding of God and His people.
