College Life

At SMBC, community is at the heart of all our learning. Our theology, training and ministry preparation happens in community, so you learn shoulder to shoulder with mentors and friends who will support you beyond the classroom.

Our Community

We are an interdenominational, learning community.

Being an interdenominational college sets SMBC apart – bringing breadth, depth, and balance to your theological education. Our staff and students come from a variety of Bible-centred denominations and independent churches.
