The Spiritual Life Committee:

Team members will encourage others to join them in praying for students, participation in service projects and involvement in chapel. Some events that have been done by this committee are 24/7 Prayer weeks, Spiritual Emphasis Week, and prayer walks.
The Missional Living Committee (MLC):
This team will provide interested students with opportunities to put their faith in to practice on campus, in the community, and internationally. This will include local outreach events such as BBQ's and awareness campaigns, possible trips to Vancouver's east side, and international missions trips. In all things we strive to promote Godly community and to advocate for the poor, the disenfranchised, and the disabled. We believe that to be Christian means caring about the things Christ cared about; we strive to be a blessing to others just as Christ has blessed us.
Community Focus Committee:
This team will implement ways to develop and nurture community on and off the CBC campus. Included in these are social and recreational activities that will help foster the community mindset.
Art & Communication:
This team promotes the interests of the students through art, drama, and written materials. They will plan and implement opportunities for art shows, skits/drama for college assemblies, concerts, and possibly a newspaper.
