A Message from the Vice President for Student Life
Letter for Students
Dear Student,
Spiritual journeys are both communal and individualistic! Certainly, we travel together as a community, but in the end, we “stand alone” giving account of our actions and attitudes. This year’s handbook confirms the theme of personal responsibility. This year will determine your destiny (the place that is peculiarly yours). This entire year will be full of “defining moments,” for you personally and opportunities for us as a community. Traveling together indicates that we are in some way connected to one another. All journeys are marked by boundaries and this handbook provides you with the basic boundary markers to help keep your future in view while embracing and celebrating life in this new millennium. Boundaries are to keep us from driving the wrong way up a down ramp. They are ultimately for your benefit and strengthen our community. Record enrollments will provide greater opportunities for community and present new challenges as well. One thing is certain, however, Bridges Christian College has moved into the mainstream of what God is doing in this generation. You will not want to miss a single event this year, as we give God opportunity to change and instruct (discipline) us. Student Life is here to serve you. We pledge to you that we will do what’s best for you in every situation. May God bring personal renewal to each of our hearts and cause His Spirit to rest within us continually!
Community
At Bridges Christian College & Seminary, community isn’t just a value — it’s a way of life. We believe that spiritual formation happens best in relationship with others who share a common pursuit of Christ. Whether through chapel services, small groups, student ministries, or shared moments of prayer and worship, our students learn, grow, and serve together.
We encourage every student to find belonging and purpose within this Christ-centered community that reflects the heart of the Gospel in action.
Compassion Corps
Compassion Corps is a global ministry initiative that connects believers with opportunities to serve people in need around the world. Through hands-on outreach, humanitarian projects, and gospel-centered service, students can experience real-world ministry that transforms both the lives they touch and their own spiritual walk.
As a partner of Compassion Corps International, BCCS equips students to live out the love of Christ in practical ways — embodying compassion, justice, and hope wherever they go.
Student Life Handbook
The Student Life Handbook serves as a guide to the values, expectations, and opportunities that shape life at Bridges Christian College & Seminary.
