The Renew Gap Year program combines hands-on ministry work experience with classes taken through Anchor Christian University (with or without credits) and off-site trip days that include an international trip to Costa Rica.

PROGRAM COSTS:
$9,000 per student with credits.
$7,200 per student without credits.
Meals and housing are valued at $180 per week; 18 hours of work per week will automatically go toward room and board.
Any additional hours worked will be paid on a biweekly basis.

Credit transfer is guaranteed to these universities: Cairn, Cedarville, Liberty, Southeastern, and Lancaster Bible College. There is the potential for credit transfer to other colleges/universities.

Students will choose from three tracks, limited to four students each: (1) Music & Worship; (2) Youth/Camping Ministry; (3) Business. Learn from a professional in your chosen track during monthly intensives and gain real-world apprenticeship experience.

Students will have an opportunity to serve within a church or ministry in our community. This will provide another way of shaping students, a practical place to apply their skills, and more insight into the type of job that students may desire after the program's completion.

A ten-day international trip mission trip is a key part of the program as students are given the opportunity to engage with another culture. All costs will be covered by the tuition fee. This trip consists of three days of training at the disciple base, five days of service, and concludes with an adventure day.

Students will also participate in local adventure days with the goal of building and uniting as a team. Trips will include activities such as rock climbing, mountain biking, canoeing, escape rooms, apple picking, and more.
Costs will be covered by the tuition fee.

Students will be provided bunk-style sleeping accommodations at our Pinebrook campus and should expect to have a roommate. All meals are provided.
