Life at CLBI

Life at CLBI is one of momentum– propelling you forward in your faith, your relationship with God, and your future!

Dorm Life

The majority of students live on campus in either the Girls’ or Guys’ dorm with a designated roommate. (Single rooms are available upon request dependent on availability.) Living in close quarters is a great part of the CLBI experience and provides an excellent way to develop new friendships. Each dorm comes pre-furnished with a closet, dresser, desk, and bed, all set for you to add personality and really make it your own. Meals are provided for students in the common cafeteria where our kitchen staff strives to provide balanced, healthy, and enjoyable meals (and are happy to meet special dietary needs). Shared meals and dorm life offer great times of connection with one another.

Community

Beyond academics and Bible classes, life here is charged by community and relationship. Students live together in dorms on campus and become a very tight knit group. Community is nurtured through weekly chapels, discipleship groups, retreats, shared meals, dorm devotions, serving together, and everyday stuff like laughing and hanging out. Students are encouraged to get real and to go deep with one another, building solid and genuine relationships.

Discipleship

Our Staff are intentional about being involved with students and coming alongside them in their personal journey. Students are placed in small groups called “D-Groups” (Discipleship Groups) that meet weekly throughout the year in a staff member’s home. Time spent together at D-Group is centred around connecting as friends, as children of God, and as members of the surrounding community. D-Group becomes like a family away from home and is a high point for many of the students.

Mentorship

Each student is also paired up with a staff member for ongoing one-on-one mentorship. Mentors meet with their students regularly to build relationship, check in, encourage, support, and pray together. These relationships foster a lot of the personal growth that comes as students continue to learn and mature and tackle the challenges of the year.

Personal Growth

We want to see you grow and become the person God created you to be.

Worship

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 formats, such as weekly worship time, chapels, evening services, or even student led events. Playing on a worship team is an optional opportunity for all students during the CLBI school year. Students who select this option are taught and mentored in how to lead worship, then given opportunities to lead within both the CLBI and surrounding community.

Quiet Time

More than anything at CLBI we want to see you grow and flourish in your personal relationship with God. To foster this, we incorporate quiet time into every day. This special block of time is one where students get to escape from all the hubbub and retreat for a while with God. These times are impactful and faith propelling as students are urged to connect personally, in a number of different ways, for regular one-on-ones with their Saviour and Creator.

Support for Struggles

For many students, their time at CLBI is a time for both growth and healing. Life isn’t easy, and sometimes students arrive who need extra care for healing to happen. Alongside great support, relationships, and encouragement from staff, CLBI covers the costs for students to receive 6 sessions of counselling per school year. Our counsellors keep office hours here at the school, with time slots available for any students who would like to take part.
