About the Program
WHAT IS EIKON?
Education is more than books and classes. Education is about life. It’s about discovering who you are and understanding what you believe. It’s about developing important skills that can prepare you to walk out God’s plan for your life.
Eikon is a nine-month, intensive residential discipleship program for college students. The program is designed to give you an education that transcends the classroom experience. Eikon is about seeing your image take the shape that God has intended, laying the foundation for your next step in education and in life
