Columbia recognizes the importance of worker safety as businesses look to resume operations following COVID-19 related work stoppages or interruptions.

Following the Health Ministry's recommendation, masks are required in all public indoor spaces.

A few years ago, the Columbia Bible College community crafted a vision statement that declared our desire to “embody and promote God’s kingdom vision of transformation for the church and world as reflected in Scripture, and develop Christ-followers who are maturing spiritually, academically, and ethically – inspired and able to positively impact their careers, churches, and communities.” This remains our goal and focus for the year ahead.

The COVID-19 pandemic has introduced considerable uncertainty, anxiety and even conflict into our world. This is one of the reasons why we believe that the learning, discipling and maturing that happens at Columbia is more necessary than ever. Even though the year ahead is going to look different, and require a willingness to forego some of our ‘normal’ patterns of life, we know that by working together this can be a great year!

The following framework describes what it will look like for Columbia to provide a safe, healthy, and transformational education and discipleship experience. Columbia intends to provide on campus living and in-person, physically distanced classes for Fall 2020. Columbia will resume face-to-face classes with physical distancing and online course components.
