I had so many questions about God, and it was amazing to have a space where I could think and ask all those questions with no judgement. It was so helpful to have knowledgeable teachers help us navigate theology. ID is an incredible year out unlike any other. It has greatly benefitted my faith.

What I loved most was the chance to serve in loads of different ways, to get out of my comfort zone and serve in ways I would never have considered. To grow as a disciple we need to both expand our understanding of Jesus and practically emulate his servant hearted actions - ID was perfect for this.

I dropped out of uni without a plan. God put ID in my path and I never looked back! My faith has completely transformed from ID. I have made amazing friendships and learnt so much from this year.

Traveling from Zimbabwe to London for my ID year has been amazing! I have grown so much in my faith through the youth work and discipleship training. My vision of the Bible was a bit blurry before ID, but I definitely feel very confident after all the teaching I have received.

I have never experienced a year that saw God change my heart so much. I’ve grown in stepping out to share my faith and praying for strangers, as well as realising who I am in Christ.
~ Caleb
I feel more confident in God’s faithfulness and provision, and more prepared for what life may throw at me! I am so grateful for the true, long lasting friends; who I still catch up, pray and hold each other accountable with now!
~ Beth
I have never experienced a year that saw God change my heart so much. My understanding of his word grew, my desire to worship increased, plus I was able to serve the church in a whole host of ways, which allowed me to work out how I best fit. And it was a lot of fun – I made friendships that stand strong to this day.
~ Jason
I wanted to spend a year devoted to Jesus, learning from Scripture and growing in leadership. I learned how to slow down in order to better hear from God.

ID has been the most important year of my life. My relationship with God will never be the same.
