Step Out missions are great, but some people just can’t get enough of them! If you are a bit like that, then this is for you! It’s Step Out+ – a whole three months of Step Out! Rather than just going on one of two Step Out missions, you get to go on six; you will meet lots of new people across Scotland and will discover gifts that you didn’t even know existed! We will provide you with training and, at the end of the summer, there will be a time to reflect on what you’ve done.
It’s not all easy, and there may be times when you feel out of your depth, but it is a wonderful and rewarding challenge. You need to be aged 16 or over, have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, want to share Jesus with other and be willing to serve for three month over the summer between June and August (but we will give you a week off at some point).
Interested? Download the 2010 Step Out Plus Application Form. Forms should be returned by 1st March 2010.

Interested? Download the 2010 Step Out Application Form today! Forms should be returned by 19th March 2010.
