I SEARCHED FOR A MAN

GAP was developed to train young men to be men of God.  In Ezekiel 22:30, God looked for “men who would stand in the gap and build the wall.”  In that day there were “none to be found.”  Today’s Generation Z needs men who will stand for their beliefs, for their churches, and for their families.

TO BUILD UP THE WALL

GAP trains men to prepare for a life of hard work and dedication. The program looks to build a work ethic for jobs and careers but also a service ethic for the church, community, and creation. For those who are willing to put in the work, GAP will give you the skills for success in work.

AND STAND IN THE GAP.

Churches and families need men who are willing to “stand in the gap” against the attacks of socialism, post-modern relativism, and anti-theism. GAP prepares young men with the biblical theology, worldview, and apologetics to give a faithful defense of the gospel at college, at work, and in their homes.

EQUIPPING FOR TRUE SUCCESS.

GAP’s mission is to give students what they need for TRUE SUCCESS. True, biblical, and godly success. Success as God defines it. Our young men will acquire the skills to live an enriched, purposeful, and serving life of salt and light.
