Waypoint is a year-long enrichment program for young adults who have completed high school or are in college. Participants study God’s word and serve on Harvey Cedars staff.

Every journey has a point when one must take time to assess their direction. As wise travelers look ahead to plan their course, they prepare for the next place to reassess: a waypoint.

The Bible often refers to our lives as a journey or path and promises that God will direct our courses while placing clear responsibilities on us.

Through college-level courses, mentorship, and practical application, Waypoint strives to equip young adults to reach their full God-given potential by:

  • becoming anchored in God’s word,

  • developing habits leading to personal wellness,

  • and exploring giftedness, both spiritually and professionally.
