Spiritual Life
All students are encouraged and expected to participate in the many opportunities for spiritual growth on campus.
We want to intentionally create space for you to express your faith and be challenged to deepen and grow in your awe of Jesus because we believe that this leads us to becoming wholehearted followers of Jesus. As part of our community of faith, you will have faculty, staff and fellow students be with you every step of the way.
Chapel
Gathering as a community for worship and discipleship is a priority at Columbia. Student led worship and input from various faculty, students and guests challenge and inspire us to deepen our walk with Jesus.
Chapel meets on Thursdays from 10:00am to 10:50am. Regular attendance at chapel is expected.
Vespers
Vespers is a one-hour, student-led, on-campus worship gathering every Tuesday evening from 9-10pm, often with prayer preceding and/or following the corporate worship time.
Prayer Room
The prayer room is a quiet place where you can go to pray alone or with a small group. It is located on the south side of the Student Lounge on the second floor of the Student Centre.
Local Church Engagement
Although CBC is a faith community that offers fellowship and great ways to serve, our community isn’t meant to replace participation in a local church. We encourage you to expand your community beyond CBC by becoming part of one of the many diverse and dynamic congregations in and around Abbotsford. If a service practicum placement is carried out at a local church, the student is encouraged to attend that church.
