Live – Learn – Launch
The Launch Initiative (TLI) is a gap year program for graduated high school students. Arrowhead is gearing up for the TLI 2020-21 gap year with more students and a huge COVID-19 scholarship.
TLI is an intensive discipleship and leadership training program designed to give graduated high school students real life experience in order to launch them into further education, finding a career, or starting a family.
TLI uses the unique ministry context of Arrowhead to provide students with a customized experience that builds character, provides life skills, professional development, leadership training, and spiritual formation. It’s discipleship with all of life wrapped around it.
TLI uses a missions support platform, challenging students to develop a missional mindset, create a network of ministry supporters, and experience lifestyle ministry with the opportunity to complete the program debt free. TLI provides 30 college credits, delivered onsite and integrated into every aspect of ministry and life at camp. College courses include general education and Bible/Theology classes. TLI has prearranged credit transfer relationships with several institutions, including Cairn University, Cedarville University, Liberty University, Clarks Summit University, and Lancaster Bible College. Students are also able to contact any school of their choice to determine credit transfer.
TLI is a great opportunity for students who are unsure which major to choose, can’t afford college, need to get out of the house and grow up, want to be challenged, or want to explore the experience of full time ministry. Learn more at abclaunch.org.
