DEEP COMMUNITY

Students live in dorms on campus and become a very tight knit group.

Community is nurtured through weekly chapels, discipleship groups, retreats, shared meals, serving together, and everyday life stuff like laughing and hanging out.

At CLBI you make friends for life!

​DISCIPLESHIP

Our staff are intentional about being involved with students and coming alongside them in their personal journey. Students are placed in small discipleship groups that meet weekly throughout the year in a staff member’s home, for many students this becomes a home away from home.

Each student is also paired up with a staff member for ongoing one-on-one mentorship. Mentors meet with their students regularly to build relationships, check in, encourage, offer support, and pray together.
WEEK LONG CLASSES

Most of our courses are offered as week-long intensives called modules, a format which allows us to bring in quality instructors from around the world to teach in their specific areas of interest and expertise.
TRAVEL ADVENTURERS

Along with traditional classroom learning, students also engage in valuable learning through the non-traditional classroom.

Our non-traditional classrooms include the outdoors, inner city, local community, and worship team experiences in churches.

 

GLOBAL MISSIONS TRAINING

Students in our IMPACT program are given the opportunity to dive into global missions.

In a hands-on leadership program, students are trained and facilitated how to plan a missions trip and connected with the necessary contacts.

For a month following, teams will board airplanes and travel around the globe to serve, learn, and bear witness to God’s redeeming work on earth– perhaps even being prompted to respond personally to God’s call for global mission.
PUTTING FAITH INTO ACTION

Living out our faith and serving others is part of God’s heart for the world, and one of the best forms of learning is through doing.

In addition to ministry trips, students serve within the community and spend time each week volunteering with a variety of organizations.

Students receive credit for doing a ministry practicum where they have the opportunity to share God’s love with the community through ministries like kid’s clubs, youth ministry, elderly visitation, prison ministry and involvement in Special Olympics. At CLBI we urge active participation in sharing God’s love and being a light to those around us.
WORSHIP TIME

Worship is a big part of life at CLBI. It’s a time to come before God and let down our barriers.

Students gather for worship experiences throughout the week in a variety of styles such as weekly worship services, student-led events, and solo time with God.

We also offer training for those who desire to grow and develop as worship leaders and opportunities to participate on worship teams..

AFFORDABILITY

We work hard to stay affordable and without hidden costs.

Our tuition fee covers all courses, textbooks, cost of living at CLBI, and out-trips.

The investment you make during your time at CLBI allows for experiences, growth, and relationships that are priceless!
