What Biblical Training will there be?

As we are a non-denominational organization we are offering two different options for study during your Gap Year with us.

These options can be discussed in more detail during the interview process:

The Training Hub – Baptist Union Scotland

The Training Hub is a 10-month discipleship programme encompassing theological teaching, leadership development, practical training & spiritual growth. It’s a place for training and equipping everyday disciples to serve God in every area of life and culture.

Along with the work of Edinburgh City Mission you will be given the option to dig deeper into your faith through the Training Hub at Baptist Union Scotland. We would be open to discussing alternatives.

Study time

Each term, a book will be set by your mentor that is relevant to the work you will be doing. You will be expected to read the book and produce a piece of work each term. You will be able to use your timetabled study time to do this.

As explained previously one of the benefits of taking part in a smaller Gap Year programme is that we can be extremely flexible with meeting your needs and interests. Therefore, the timetable below is just an example of what a week in the life of an Edinburgh City Mission Gap Year student could look like!

Holidays

The Gap Year will start in September 2023 and end at the close of June 2024

During the year you will be given 2 weeks over Christmas and then 6 weeks to be taken flexibly throughout the year.
