COMPASS

So you’re out of High School… What’s next? Maybe the Compass gap year program is for you! Come and explore the world’s possibilities along with other students in your same shoes. In the Compass program you will have the opportunity to have experiences that will root you in the Lord and equip you for whatever He has in store for your life! Of course, being a part of Expeditions, you can expect great adventures to accompany you on your journey to seek the Lord’s direction for your life!

APPLICATIONS BEING ACCEPTED FOR 2024-2025 

EXPLORE THE FOUR FOCUSES OF COMPASS

Four Focuses

OUR MISSION

Our mission is to provide a gap year program that is centered around discipleship in which students are invited to deepen their personal relationship with Jesus. We seek to lead and support them as they consider their future by working to understand who God has uniquely created them to be and how to bring glory to Him.

  Compass was created for students that are trying to figure out what's next and are desiring to deepen their relationship with Jesus, grow personally within community, and adventure in God’s creation. We hope to equip students to be faithful stewards of the gifts God has given them and to use them for His glory. As we disciple, we will have four main focuses: Bible and Life Skills Classes, Missions Education, Wilderness Experiences, and Community

Compass Theme Verse:

“Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.”

-1 Peter 4:10-11 (NIV)
