MISSIONS COHORT 2024
This year for STiM, in addition to approved applicants, we are offering free attendance (2 nights + meals) to STiM 1 for all interested students. You will receive a great discipleship experience, cross-cultural training, and a deep, Biblical overview of God's global call to missions. There are no strings attached to attending the weekend, but if you decide you would like to continue with STiM, you can apply after STiM 1 and be considered for future weekends and a summer program. There are some parameters for students coming:
PLEASE NOTE: Some summer programs may be closed (no longer taking new applicants) by February. If you are planning on applying to the STiM program, go ahead and do so through the normal application process instead of “trying out” STiM through this option. “Trying out” STiM through this opportunity will delay some of your training and could prevent you from going on certain summer programs with earlier registration deadlines, so we highly encourage you to apply ahead of time. That said, if you are truly “on the fence”, this opportunity may be a good fit for you to expose you to some of what missions and STiM have to offer!

- You are open to summer missions.
- You are willing to navigate an intensive training weekend and understand STiM is a challenging spiritual retreat/training (not just "something to do" for a weekend).
- You understand the purpose and nature of STiM: Deep Biblical engagement with missions, intensive cross-cultural ministry training, and challenging personal discipleship.
