Program overview

Service Force Academy is a 6–8 week journey of growth — blending real-world skills, mentorship, spiritual enrichment, and cross-cultural experiences. The program culminates in a once-in-a-lifetime, fully funded trip to Israel.

  • Faith Integration

    Reconnect with your spiritual identity and explore how your faith can guide your life and work. We’ll talk about calling, purpose, and what it means to serve others from a place of strength and trust in God.

Trip to Israel

The trip is an immersive experience that brings participants face-to-face with the people, food, history, and spiritual depth of Israel. Over the course of several days, participants will walk ancient paths, visit key biblical and cultural landmarks, and connect with the modern vibrancy of Israeli life. Whether touring the bustling markets of Jerusalem, standing at the Sea of Galilee, or sharing a Shabbat dinner with local families, the journey offers space for reflection, connection, and perspective.

This is not a mission or service trip—it’s a time to receive, reset, and grow. The hope is that it becomes a defining spiritual experience and a powerful moment of unity with both the group and the people of Israel. The trip is fully funded and thoughtfully planned to be both restful and deeply meaningful.
