Columbia Bible College

Columbia Bible College Our heartbeat is to equip the next generation for a life of discipleship, ministry, and leadership. Please view our full list of programs.

Located in the heart of the Fraser Valley in beautiful Abbotsford, BC, Columbia was founded in 1936. Columbia has a storied history of graduating students that have gone on to establish influential ministries and successful careers, all while sharing the Gospel and love of Jesus with others. As one of the premiere Christian institutions in Canada, Columbia offers a holistic education that’s rooted

in Scripture and augmented by a socially relevant curriculum and enriching practical applications. Fully accredited through the Association for Biblical Higher Education (ABHE), Columbia offers a variety of Bachelor of Arts Degrees, Diplomas and Certificates. At the core of everything we do is the drive to prepare students to go out into the world and make a difference in the lives of those they serve through the vocation that God’s called them to. We believe the best way to do this is by equipping students with a well-rounded education and providing diverse opportunities to develop their gifts, while discovering new abilities and discerning the path God has planned for them.
