Parents
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about IMPACT 360. Since our program first launched in the Fall of 2006, we have been coming alongside energetic and passionate members of the millennial generation, helping them gain a deeper understanding of their God-given talents, abilities, and place in this world. Through the lens of inerrant Holy Scripture and historic biblical framework, we equip our students to be Christ-centered servant leaders in an increasingly secularized culture.
We think you’ll find IMPACT 360 to be the most unique and challenging academic gap-year available, and we believe it to be a rare opportunity for your student to discern the role he or she is meant to play in God’s agenda. Feel free to contact me personally to answer your questions, or to arrange a campus visit. In the meantime, discover more about us here on the web, and feel free to keep up with ongoing campus activities through our blog.
Thank you again for your interest in IMPACT 360. We look forward to meeting you in person.

Mother of Chelsea Brown, Class of 2010“If you are a parent considering this, and are concerned about the expense, it is SO worth it! We jumped in on faith, seeing it as an awesome opportunity, and God came through financially and with spiritual and emotional growth in our son as well. I can’t say enough good things about IMPACT!”
Elaine McFarland
Mother of Nathan McFarland, Class of 2010“People may question you at first, for doing something nontraditional, but the unique life experiences you come away with will make you a fuller and more cultivated person as you walk into college. This is not a year of waiting. It is an exercise in intention.”
