Student Stories
Sam J.
“The CBC community has been amazing throughout all three years that I have been here. CBC community is like a second family. There were always opportunities to meet new people at different events on campus. As an athlete it was always awesome to see everyone come out to games and support us. The CBC community is supportive, encouraging, and welcoming.
CBC has given me a greater appreciation and understanding of the Bible. I have learned the importance of applying hermeneutics to understand the original meaning of scripture. Interpreting scripture allows us to have a deeper understanding and closer relationship with God. Allowing scripture to be applied to all areas and circumstances in life.”
