A GAP YEAR PROGRAM THAT’S PAID AND HAS TRAVEL?!

Yeah. It really is that awesome.

Scroll on to learn where you could go!

Trip 1

A 3-Day, Self-Led “Get To Know You” Trip

  • You read that right. Our director gives you a budget and a few parameters and you plan your own trip!

    This is at the beginning of your time with us and it’s been a blast to see our Cornerstone classes bond so well in just 3 days!

  • Transportation, lodging and main meals will be covered for this trip and all others we ask you to go on.

    Sorry, we don’t cover your sour candies and coffee at the gas station stop. BUT- we will dare you to eat the whole bag of candy as fast as you can.

Trip 2

ISRAEL

(or another international destination)

  • We get it, there is a lot going on in that part of the world right now and we want you to know that safety is OUR number one priority and also the priority of the tour company we use.

    If we or the tour company thinks it is unsafe we hope to choose an alternative international Christian Study Trip with them in an area that is safe.

  • We have used two different tour companies in the past: GTI Tours and Pilgrim Tours. Both organize Christian study tours to the Holy Land.

    They take care of all our details- often even our flights and airport pickups. Even though we fly into the country with just our group from Cornerstone, we meet people as soon as we are there. They take us to the hotel, and then each day you get on a bus with ~40 other people to go through the country and stop at different sites.

    We do a multi-week prep course before going to Israel that prepares us to soak in all of the historical and Biblical significance.

    It's also a time that people can learn what they need to pack and what they should expect on the trip.

    We have had multiple people who had never flown before and they felt well prepared for the whole adventure!

    Some examples of sites that we go to (although the itinerary can vary): Jerusalem (normally multiple days here because there is so much to see!), the Dead Sea, Caesarea Maritima, Galilee (Capernaum and several other places), Meggido, the Jordan River, and many more!

  • We cover the cost of the trip and all meals while traveling!

    Yeah, we’re serious. It’s awesome!

    Any additional costs like souvenirs and extra drinks at lunches (soda, etc.) are your responsibility.

Trip 3

Mid-Winter Retreat

  • Missouri winters can be a little dreary so we are providing a mid-winter blues getaway!

    This will be designed to help deepen your relationship with God and your Cornerstone community.

    A great way to refresh and fill your cup before a busy Spring season.

  • Once again, all travel expenses and main meals will be covered!

    Any personal purchases- snacks, souvenirs and the socks you forgot- are on you.
