CAPERNWRAY HARBOUR BIBLE SCHOOL THETIS ISLAND, BRITISH COLUMBIA Prepared for service
Nestled among the Gulf Islands off British Columbia’s West Coast, Capernwray Harbour Bible Centre on Thetis Island offers students a unique learning experience. From September through April Capernwray Harbour runs a One-Year Bible School program where sound, practical Bible teaching focusing on both the Old and New Testament scriptures in which God reveals the indwelling, resurrected Christ as the Christian life is given. Students gain an experiential knowledge of Christ and how His presence practically applies to daily living. Through classroom studies, tutorials, dialogue-based small group studies and summary journals, the student body of approximately a hundred men and women of various backgrounds, nationalities and denominations have the opportunity to share from the written Word what God is teaching them and how He is working in their lives. Many outreach opportunities located in surrounding communities and cities are available for students to participate as restrictions allow. The student body joins the full-time staff team whose desire is to prepare each student for “full-time Christian service, regardless of occupation.” This year, with limited space, there’s also an Online Bible School opportunity for those who aren’t able to travel to hear and respond to the teaching of the Word from the classroom.

CANADIAN MENNONITE UNIVERSITY (CMU) WINNIPEG, MANITOBA CMU practica program connects the classroom and the world
Canadian Mennonite University is unique among Canadian universities in that every degree student completes a practicum, a supervised off-campus work experience that complements classroom education. CMU’s practica program: • is connected to over 500 community partners in education, health care, business, church, legal, social service, agriculture, government and NGO organizations – both locally and globally • enriches academic learning • expands research and interpretation skills • develops oral and written communication proficiency • offers hands-on work experience in diverse settings • helps students clarify vocational interests and create career options. According to Canada’s Business/Higher Education Roundtable, work-integrated learning is a fundamental part of the Canadian undergraduate experience. Work-integrated learning has been a cornerstone of the CMU experience for 20 years. To complement the university’s longstanding and exemplary practicum program and strengthen commitments to prepare students for lives of service, leadership and reconciliation, CMU launched its Centre for Vocation in Fall 2020. The centre will increase activity and draw together the many ways CMU education attends to livelihoods, character and purpose with students. The goal of the centre is to help students navigate career choices as informed by a life of Christian hope. www.CMU.ca
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. SelfManagement 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 are a lot of questions about Christianity – people wondering about the Church’s harder doctrines and about Christians who have been involved in things that don’t seem to fit with the gospel. Often these questions need to be asked. But a lot of Christians feel like they don’t have good answers. They 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.
