Campus Life

  • Chapel
  • Chapels at BBC are developed to encourage and challenge you, as well as to give you opportunities to lead in a worship setting. Chapels are held at 10:30 am on Wednesdays and Fridays. Attendance is required for all full-time students and each semester a noncredit, pass/fail (P/F) grade will appear on your transcript. Recordings of previous sermons are kept here.
  • Family Groups
  • BBC students are members of a "family," a group of students who are all served by the same academic advisor. Periodically throughout the year your group will get together for fellowship and for ministry activities.
  • Committees
  • All BBC students are encouraged to participate in committees organized and led by students with interests in special areas of development and service. The following committees provide an opportunity for every student to be involved: Spiritual Emphasis, Missions Emphasis, Service, Media, Yearbook, Preview and Sports.
  • Student Council
  • Students selected by student body elections meet regularly with the Dean of Students to improve campus life, solve problems and plan some of the special events of the College.
  • Athletics/Fitness
  • BBC encourages participation in sports as a way to promote physical health. The more serious athletes can participate in city- or church-league flag football, soccer, volleyball, or basketball. You can also participate in the fun and fellowship of intramural sports. Just minutes from campus students can enjoy tennis, golf, jogging and mountain biking. Also nearby are several health clubs and the YMCA. During the winter Bogus Basin ski resort (just 23.5 miles from campus) offers downhill skiing, Nordic skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and tubing. Boise is a popular destination for the outdoor enthusiast!
  • Christian Service
  • If you are enrolled for six or more credit hours, you must report to the Christian Service Director on your involvement in a local congregation. A non-credit pass/fail (P/F) grade is placed on your transcript for each semester you are required to be involved in Christian Service. Students enrolled in Internships are exempt from the Christian Service requirement.
  • Devotional Life
  • Classes are opened with prayer and conducted in a spirit of reverence for God. Students are encouraged to spend personal time as well as time with small groups and roommates in prayer and in meditation on the Word of God.
  • Involvement in a Local Church
  • You are expected to find a regular place of fellowship and service in a local church.
  • Special Weeks
  • Spiritual Emphasis Week
  • A week is set apart each fall semester to emphasize a deeper spiritual life. Usually a guest minister is brought in to speak, counsel, and live on campus for the entire week.
  • Missions Emphasis Week
  • Each spring, a week is set aside to emphasize world missions and mission involvement.
  • Banquets
  • Fall Banquet
  • Presented by the sophomore class in October. Usually a casual party type of event.
  • Winter Banquet
  • Presented by the freshman class in February. Usually a more formal dress-up type of event.
  • Senior Banquet
  • The junior class and non-graduating seniors plan this special event in early May as an opportunity to honor our graduating seniors. During this banquet juniors "will" items to students, staff, and faculty. It is also the time when some awards are given.
  • Preview
  • Every April high school students from around the Pacific Northwest attend this two-day conference. Visitors are able to get an introduction to life at BBC. Preview is a chance for the student body of Boise Bible College to showcase their skills in worship, teaching, and other areas, to host students from their home churches and youth groups, and to welcome those students who will soon join the BBC student body. If you would like more to receive more information or attend Preview, contact the Admissions Department.
  • Senior Skip Day
  • Each spring, at a signal from the senior class officers, all of us "skip" away from classes for a day of recreation, food, and fellowship.
