Student Life

The Word of Life Bible Institute in Canada has one of the most dynamic student life atmospheres of any college while seeking to develop the spiritual, social, and disciplinary aspects of each student's life. Students spend the year focusing on the Word of God while developing the disciplines needed to succeed in their future ministry or vocation. And we also have fun! As a student at the Bible Institute you will have opportunities to go rock climbing on the Niagara Escarpment, hiking through our many wooded trails, or relaxing at the beach on the Georgian Bay. At the Word of Life Bible Institute you will also find a staff and faculty that care about your success as an individual as well as your personal growth. You will make godly friends that will last a lifetime and hope you can say "that was one of the best years of my life."
