Highlights

Over 600 students have participated in QUEST, Columbia's reputable and life-changing one-year outdoor adventure discipleship program.

Columbia now offers a two-year Diploma in General Studies. This program will deepen your faith and prepare you for further academic pursuits as you explore a series of key subject areas, including biblical studies, the arts, literature, business, and psychology. Our 2+2 block transfer with UFV allows you to move directly into Year 3 of the Bachelor of General Studies program at University of the Fraser Valley.

Located in a small city one hour from Vancouver, Columbia students have access to a wealth of internships & practicums: rural, suburban, urban churches, multicultural settings, parachurch organizations.

Small class sizes allow Columbia's dedicated faculty to get to know you personally and mentor you in your studies and life.
