One Year Experience

What is the One Year Experience?

The BASIC One Year Experience (OYX) is a unique opportunity to improve your knowledge of the Bible, spend extra time with God, and engage in college ministry.

For personal growth, you take several classes at Elim Bible Institute to build a rock-solid biblical foundation, such as:

  • Apologetics
  • Evangelism in a postmodern world
  • Theology I
  • Marriage & the family

You also work alongside the BASIC crew on a daily basis. This includes traveling across the Northeast to minister at different campuses, planning the conferences, organizing outreaches, and leading a missions trip to NYC.

Who is it for?

The OYX is for young adults who want to devote a year to God for college ministry and discipleship. You can attend before, during, or after college.

Some students want to spend a year focused on reaching their peers for Christ before starting a career. Others want to experiment with a year of ministry before pursuing full-time ministry or missions work.

You can even do the OYX in conjunction with your college to fulfill internship requirements. Contact us for more information.

How much does it cost?

The cost of the One Year Experience is $8,900. This covers everything you’ll need including tuition, lodging, a meal plan, textbooks, ministry expenses, and a travel stipend for gas & food on the go.

The good news is that people want to help you minister to college students, and they are willing to sponsor you! We teach you everything you need to know so that you can attend the OYX with very little money out of pocket.
