The Kairos GAP Program

The Kairos GAP Program has been refreshed. High School graduates often find it helpful to take a year off, whether to experience a new community, grow in self-knowledge and discipleship, or to serve in a more significant way. The GAP Program provides just such an opportunity. Through service, formation, community, and more, Gappers will grow into men and women that impact the world for Christ! Taking a year off to be a Gapper can be intimidating, but we have seen time and again that doing a GAP year helps set a young person up for a life, not just of success, but of significance.

  • Dates: Early August 2024 to Mid-May 2025
  • Location: Lansing, Michigan
  • Cost: $2,500 (fundraising help is available)
  • Availability: 2 Men and 2 Women
