APPLY TO THE GAP AT SAWMILL MEADOW

Priority will be granted to full program applicants.

Please set aside 45 - 60 minutes to complete this application and a required 7-minute questionnaire.

Your answers will not be saved if you leave this page prior to completing the application so please consider saving each answer into a word document in the event you do not have time to finish your started application.

Some of these questions might be difficult to answer! We get that! Please know that we are not looking for the “perfect” candidate…we are looking for new adults who have a desire to grow and an understanding where growth is needed; a desire to know and grow your current relationship with the Lord; and a desire to become more independent with “adulting” life skills. We encourage you to think hard and be honest when answering questions. We want the real YOU!

Should a position in South Fork not be offered, other options may include a waitlist or a delayed admission option.
