College Life

At SMBC, community is at the heart of college life and all our learning. Our theology, ministry and spiritual 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 rigour and balance to your theological education and spiritual formation. Our staff and students come from a variety of Bible-centred denominations and independent churches, which add richness and vitality to college life.
