What will the Gap Year look like?

A Gap Year with Edinburgh City Mission will be one in which we hope you will develop in your Christian faith, as well as learn some of the practicalities of mission.

It will prepare you to be part of the mission field wherever you end up, whether that be in a big city like Edinburgh, or in a smaller community.

It will give you a vision for enabling a mission movement wherever you go, whether you are a full-time mission worker, or you want to live a life of mission as we believe Jesus has called us to.

With many different ministries to be involved in, the year will be tailored to your interests and skill set.

You will be provided with a mentor who will help you in your working role. They will meet with you regularly to talk about your faith and what you are learning through the programme, as well as any areas of concern.

You will be working three days a week with Edinburgh City Mission and therefore have two days to find part-time work within the City.
