COLUMBIA BIBLE COLLEGE ABBOTSFORD, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Quest: An unforgettable discipleship year What are the ingredients of a great gap year experience? At Columbia Bible College we believe there are four – studying God’s Word, experiencing outdoor adventure, developing core life skills and engaging in real community. Quest, Columbia’s one-year discipleship program, is designed to deliver on each. Quest students get in the classroom and dig into Scripture. Classes like Old and New Testament Survey, Intro to Christian Theology, Spiritual Formation, and Marriage and Family help them grow spiritually and get a solid handle on their faith. Quest also gets students off campus for outdoor adventure. They try hiking, canoeing, tall ship sailing, rock climbing, skiing and spelunking – enjoying over 40 days of out trips that put them in creation, bond them as a team and grow their characters. Developing maturity and confidence is another key focus for Quest. Self-Management and Christian Decision Making are two courses that teach students practical life skills – time management, setting boundaries, establishing good habits, understanding their strengths and weaknesses. All this learning is a challenge, so Quest surrounds students with community. Deep friendships develop over the year, and mentors offer support and wisdom. The result? Growth, joy and a Christ-centred foundation for life. www.ColumbiaBC.edu/Quest

REGENT COLLEGE VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA
Theology for life Theology is about more than getting our thinking right. It’s about full life. As we grow in our knowledge of God, that knowledge shouldn’t sit stagnant. It should start shaping everything we do. Today in Canada there’s pushback against Christianity – people asking questions about the Church’s harder doctrines and about wrongs the Church has done in history. Often these questions need to be asked. But the problem is a lot of Christians feel they don’t have good answers. That creates a situation where people become wary of bringing their faith out in public. They split their lives in two, speaking Christian language with Christians, but struggling to know what to say about faith at work, on the soccer field, at the art gallery. From the beginning our goal at Regent College has been to give Christians tools to bring their faith into every square inch of life.
Students at Regent get the chance to not only sink deep into Scripture and theology, but to discover how to integrate the theological truths they’re learning at work and play, in art, culture and relationship. Learn more about theology for all of life. www.Regent-College.edu

WYCLIFFE COLLEGE TORONTO, ONTARIO Got a little rebel in you? So do we.
Wycliffe College – a Canadian evangelical seminary located at the University of Toronto – is named after a heretic. Why? Because sometimes it’s important to: • act with conviction • stand up for truth • teach the Bible in a way that connects with people • show how Christianity is Good News • tell it like it is • help people learn how divinely real and amazing Jesus is • communicate God’s message in a way people can understand. John Wycliffe did all those things. And where did it get him? Declared a heretic after his death, his bones were exhumed, burned to ashes and scattered in the River Swift. Where could a Wycliffe College graduate education get you? It could lead you to: • be shaped by Scripture • draw closer to God • find your calling • lead with conviction • share the Good News with a world that’s hungry for it • be an instrument of change. Flexible. Affordable. Online and residential options. Certificate, master’s and doctoral programs. Theological education at a worldclass university in the heart of a global city. www.WycliffeCollege.ca/FT
