Outer Banks Summer Project is designed for you to have fun with other college students after a long school year before the summer officially starts! Enjoy extensive time in community with students from Ohio State, Bowling Green, and University of Cincinnati who are also seeking to grow and follow Jesus. You will get twelve days in beautiful Outer Banks, NC to soak up the sun, explore the area and develop lasting friendships!
OBX SP provides you the opportunity to grow in your love for God and learn how to live out your faith while in college and beyond. Throughout the project you will participate in trainings over how to read and study your Bible, pray, apply the gospel to your life, and how to share your faith and be equipped to lead others.
OBX SP is designed to send you into the rest of your summer equipped to go serve and lead others spiritually. This could be at home, at a summer job, at an internship or on an overseas mission opportunity. It also will send you into the rest of your life equipped to follow Jesus faithfully and make disciples— in your family, friends, workplace, community, etc.
What are students saying about Summer Project?
“Summer Leadership Project was an amazing and fun opportunity that was incredibly valuable to my walk with the Lord. I loved how I was able to experience true Christian community and be surrounded by others who both encouraged and challenged me to grow in my faith. The trainings equipped me to be a better leader, which led me to grow in confidence in sharing my faith with others throughout everyday life!”
Molly Thompson, Bowling Green State University
“Summer leadership project is the experience that exhibits the love of Jesus Christ and the community of believers in how we can live together with encouragement and care for one another. My time at SLP vastly grew my walk and faith in Jesus and to share the love with others around me who may not know of Him. SLP taught me that if we desire Jesus He will undoubtedly meet us no matter where we are at in our life.”
Nay Say, Bowling Green State University
“The community at SLP was really impactful to me in so many ways. Through the help of those around me I grew to see myself the way God saw me and even others. This instilled a new found curiosity towards the well being of others in my life. I also really enjoyed being around everyone as we grew together in the lord. It just gave me so much joy!”
Andrew Olayemi, University of Cincinnati
“SLP was monumental in my walk with God. I experienced the beauty of Christian fellowship & saw the importance of being surrounded with people who are also striving to be more like Jesus, learned how to effectively share my faith, and saw the Lord working like never before. I recommend SLP to anyone looking to grow in their faith!”
Kiley McCandless, The Ohio State University
“At SLP I was able to learn about God’s character every day, while also getting to see the Holy Spirit moving in everyone around me. Getting to be surrounded by so many other people who are also wanting to be more Christlike creates an atmosphere where it is clear everyone is dedicated to serving and honoring God with our lives.”
Patrick Osborn, The Ohio State University
“Summer Leadership Protect was an experience that truly helped me grow and develop so much as a person and in my faith. Participating in SLP twice allowed me to build lifelong Godly friendships and learn leadership skills that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. I highly recommend this opportunity to anyone who has any interest in stepping out their comfort zone and seeking to build a deeper relationship with God. You can’t even imagine the opportunities He will provide until you are in the moment, it is very much worth it!”
Sydney Johns, Bowling Green State University
