Which bible should I bring?

You will need one basic Bible for study purposes – NKJV, NASB, ESV, or NIV are recommended. Feel free to bring any other Bibles as additional resources. If you bring only one Bible please avoid paraphrases (e.g. The Message, Living Bible, Amplified).

What are the living spaces like?

While the Winnipeg Campus does not have dorms, per se, there are rental options in the same building. Students who call the campus home share living quarters with one other student. These rooms have two single beds, desks, chairs, cupboards, and closets, with communal kitchen and laundry facilities. There is plenty of space to spend time together in lounges and other shared living spaces. Students who live elsewhere commute to college, often staying for the afternoon and into the evening to study and fellowship.

Students have Community Life Groups, which are small groups of students who meet regularly to promote a healthy physical, emotional, and spiritual environment for the students on campus. They pray together, get to know each other, provide accountability, and have a lot of fun! CLGs have two leaders: Community Life Leaders (CLL), and Community Life Assistants (CLA).

How do meals work?

Students who live in the same building as the college are responsible for cooking their own breakfast, supper, and weekend meals. Students often meal grocery shop, cook, and enjoy their food together. During the week, lunches are brought in by local caterers so that our students can enjoy a meal as an entire student body.

Where will I go to church?

Many students who are from the Winnipeg area continue to go to their own home churches. Others take a couple of weeks to find a church to commit to serving and participating in for the year.

Will I have a mentor?

As a core value, mentoring is vital in your college experience. Each student is connected with a mentor with whom they meet once a week. A mentor is a listening ear, a prayer partner, a new or different perspective, an accountability partner, and a friend. Freshmen are connected with an upperclassman, and upperclassmen are connected with staff or mature community members.
