“I have a vision of my life now that is going to be lived around Jesus”

A life-transforming nine-day experience on the Malibu campus, CrossWays gives 100 high school juniors and seniors an opportunity to identify their spiritual gifts and envision the path of their own spiritual journey. Led by top Pepperdine students of deep Christian faith, CrossWays participants enjoy the close-knit camaraderie of their peers and mentors. Those relationships continue far beyond the event, some remaining in close touch with their cohort leaders for years and continuing to receive guidance and encouragement. 

Through powerful teachings presented by Pepperdine professors and staff, biblical scholars, local pastors, and church leaders, participants are confronted with faith topics that foster introspection and discussion. Students are guided through a unique CrossWays Life Map process that is both empowering and humbling. Daily schedules include time for worship, lectures, reflection and prayer, group interaction and fellowship activity.
