"Columbia has prepared me to think biblically and theologically about worship, develop a personal philosophy of ministry, and acquire the hands-on skills I need to lead teams and communicate with people who serve."
—Andrew Geddert, Worship Pastor
"One of the things I really appreciate about my CBC experience was community life, where even professors and staff took part in activities across campus, modelling life-on-life discipleship. I was able to learn a lot about leadership through their formal and informal mentoring in my life."
—Sandra Chavez Plett, Missionary
"I spent 5 years at CBC in the Biblical Studies program and currently serve as the Pastor of Young Adults at a local church. I structure our programs, meet with people, and teach as informed by my previous learning and experiences. Both CBC and the local church played an important role in preparing me for pastoral ministry by shaping my worldview, building and challenging my convictions, and giving me a setting to grow in character."
—Freddy Orozco, Pastor of Young Adults
