Briercrest Benefits
Academic
Relevance
Education at Briercrest College and Seminary is designed to prepare students for life. Classes in Bible and theology, arts and science, and Christian ministry accomplish several things in the life of a student, including...
- helping students to understand the world from a Christian perspective
- establishing students in biblical truth
- grounding their learning in life as a member of the body of Christ
Your son or daughter will take far more arts and science courses than they would at a typical Bible college. They will also take far more Bible and theology and Christian ministry courses than they would at a university or university-college.
This blend of Bible and theology, arts and science, and Christian ministry is unique and, we believe, well-suited to preparing thoughtful leaders who are aware of current issues and capable of evaluating them within a framework of historic Christian and biblical thought.

At Briercrest College and Seminary, students find a community and classroom experience that encourage them to become thoughtful disciples of Jesus Christ. We challenge students to make that process central to their academic endeavours, and we invite them to a way of living and thinking that encompasses all that they do. By consecrating their hearts and minds to Jesus during their experience at Briercrest College and Seminary, students start on a path that leads to surrender to Jesus in everything.
Our approach is multifaceted:
