GAP Girls

Bible

Studies show that young women today are grappling to find their identity and yet have a strong desire to make a difference in the world. 1

GAP will expand students understanding of God’s Word while following the Biblical model presented throughout Proverb 31.

Career

Young women today are spiritually adrift. Only 4% have a Biblical worldview.2

Our culture is making every effort to define the identity of young adults apart from the Bible, and GAP gives foundational training to counterbalance this impact.

Life

More than previous generations, today's young women struggle with anxiety, worry, and loneliness. 3

GAP exposes students to authentic relationships with peers, families, and a diverse set of instructors. This Biblically based, holistic approach can translate into TRUE SUCCESS.

Life Skills

Research shows that most young women lack the basic skills needed to navigate life as a capable adult. 4

GAP provides exposure to an array of skills needed to navigate life, family, college and career.

The foundation of God’s Alternative Program (GAP) is the Bible. Period. All teaching will be from the foundation of a biblical worldview that establishes true identity and humility within each student. Our culture is making every effort to define the identity of young adults apart from the Bible, and GAP is taking it back.

Each student will be equipped in the following areas:

 

  • Bible
  • Worldview
  • Apologetics
  • Church History
  • Systematic Theology
  • Biblical Theology
  • The Home
  • The Church
  • The Workplace
  • The Culture
  • Creation Care
  • Craftsmanship
  • Life & Personal Leadership

To put it another way, we will teach you: true biblical theology, personal finances, healthy family life, care for God’s creation, essential life skills, effective communication, leadership skills for the church, work and family, healthy church life, work ethics, physical health and fitness, various trades, and ministry service.
