Get Ready for Impact 360 Immersion 2022

You will experience

Prepare for Influence
Leadership is about influence. And influence flows from who you are. Your identity. During this leadership experience our faculty and staff will help students discover how God might be calling them to participate in the larger redemptive story that God is writing by visiting the Martin Luther King Jr. memorial.
Leading Together
Life is a team sport and leadership requires community. Through fun, high energy experiences like the tree-top zip line adventure and whitewater rafting students will learn how to leverage their unique personalities, how to work together with their peers toward a common vision, and how to overcome adversity together.
Engaging Worldviews on Campus
Our faculty and staff will take students to visit a nearby college campus where they will have the have the opportunity to interact with those who believe differently than they do about God and spirituality. Afterwards we will share what we learned from this worldview experience together and then address any challenging questions encountered. This confidence building experience is a favorite of our students.
Engaging Islam
One of the best ways to explore what you believe is to interact with those who believe differently. Our faculty and staff will take students to visit a nearby mosque where they will have the have the opportunity to learn about Islam from people who actually practice it. Afterwards, we will share what we learned from this worldview experience together, discuss the significant differences between Christianity and Islam and the importance of clearly understanding the Gospel.
The Art of Spiritual Conversation
Our culture is full of soundbites and slogans. Many of these slogans often shut Christians down before they can engage. This unique experience gives students confidence and hands-on training in how to use questions to guide conversations with friends, family, and professors in a spiritually productive way.
Engaging Media and Film
Every day we encounter hundreds of images and messages through media, TV, News, and film. In this worldview experience our faculty will train students how to think Christianly about the media they consume.
