About Alberta Bible College

Campus: Facilities, Residence and Location

Alberta Bible College has a new and beautiful Prayer Garden that can be used by the community, staff, and its students. The garden is meant to provide students a place for reflection, reading, community and prayer. The College’s location was moved from Lethbridge to Calgary, and in 1962, new facilities were created and constructed, and major renovations were built to make the College more attractive and conducive to its other modern facilities.

Student Services and Student Life

The College seeks to train students to become good leaders in the four fundamental structures that comprise its values: study, service, prayer, and community. “Study” focuses on “knowing God through intentional study of scripture, theology and spiritual writings, with particular emphasis on the integration of learning and living.” “Service” concentrates on “embodying the gospel in tangible ways, both inside and beyond the ABC community.” “Prayer” is rooted on “creating space to be with God, giving particular attention to times and places for prayer and for worship (both corporate and individual).” “Community” is using the three priorities discussed earlier within “context of intentionally living life together.”

Students who are into sports have the opportunity to play in the Alberta Colleges Athletic League on both the Rocky Mountain and Alberta Bible College teams. Some of the teams included Men’s and Women’s Volleyball, Men’s and Women’s Basketball, and Men’s Futsal (indoor soccer). The partnership between Rocky Mountain and Alberta Bible has proven to be very good in increasing the level of competition and quality of the teams.

Academic Programs

The College focuses on the “classical English Bible curriculum,” which continues to be the heart of Alberta Bible’s ministerial training program.
