Working at Columbia
If you’re looking to join an organization that seeks to be Christ-centered, kingdom-focused, and world-impacting, Columbia Bible College may be a great fit for you.
For the past number of years, we’ve been working to create a workplace culture where faculty and staff are inspired to be wholehearted followers of Jesus who are caring & constructive colleagues, creative & passionate workers, strategic & diligent stewards, ethical & engaged neighbours, and authentic & transformational leaders. It’s rewarding to see that our efforts are bearing fruit: Columbia was recognized as a ‘Best Christian Workplace’ for 2017, 2019 and again in 2021 when Columbia repeated the ‘Best Christian Workplace’ survey.
