Why Apply for a Discovery Experience?
Students on Discovery Experience teams spend the weeks and months leading up to it preparing for growth and transformation.
Our Discovery program is about transformation through service. Our desire is that students would develop and strengthen their faith as they engage in and with various worldviews, belief systems, cultural practices and more.
Our objective is to facilitate well-executed intercultural experiences with the potential to advance students’ spiritual, emotional, character and relational development, while meeting desired educational or ministry goals.
We believe that when students are able to learn about people, cultures and worldviews through a Christian lens, they are better able to live and engage the global community.
As students engage with others, they learn to love and serve humbly as Christ did. It is our hope that through loving service our students will be transformed, and others may be led to the truth.
While some of our service opportunities are outreach-oriented, others focus on language learning, cultural immersion, leadership development or academic enhancement.
As students serve, they develop Christ-like compassion and generosity that shapes them for life.
Discovery sent more than 400 students on 29 teams across the state, the nation and the world in 2019. Since our very first experience in India in 2008, more than 3,200 students have served on 168 experiences in 35 countries and 6 continents.
