What Our Students Say

CCBC Student Testimony

“CCBC has been an amazing environment for being empowered for witness…I’ve been strengthened in not only my knowledge and understanding of God’s world, but I’ve also been taught how to apply what I’ve learned to my life so that I may be a witness to others.”

Ethan – Current Student

CCBC Student quote

Before I came to CCBC, I was nervous, unprepared, and very unequipped to work in ministry at all. CCBC has majorly equipped me for my life and my future ministry. I grew up in the mission field of Mexico, and I’ve seen God work many ways through a lot of people, but never in my 20 years of living have I seen such a Christ-empowered community as I have at this college.”
