A little about us...

Clearwater College (formerly Living Faith Bible College) is a charismatic evangelical Christian Bible College, located in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, near Caroline, Alberta. Our mandate is “Equipping for Life and Ministry.” We are a non-denominational college and therefore appeal to a wide spectrum of students from different denominations and backgrounds from around the world. Our goal is to impact both our local and global communities by changing hearts, teaching minds, and serving others. All of this occurs in an environment set apart from the hustle and bustle of the city, surrounded by wildlife, rivers, trees and mountains.


Clearwater College was incorporated in Alberta by an Act of the Legislature and authorized by them to grant degrees in Bible and theology.

Clearwater College is the Canadian training college of the Fellowship of Christian Assemblies, an affiliation of autonomous churches and ministries united in a common goal of making Christ and His Gospel known.


We’d love to meet you, so come on out and see what you’ve been missing!

Why Does Clearwater Exist?

It’s simple really: Our need for Jesus. The mandate he left for his followers was to make disciples of all nations (Matthew 28:18-20). Empowered by the Holy Spirit, that is what they did, and that is what we continue to do today by Equipping for Life and Ministry.


- EQUIPPING FOR LIFE -

In equipping students for life, we follow the Acts 2:42 model by seeking to devote ourselves to the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer. Students may or may not be academically strong, but degrees and certificates only matter if students are effectively equipped for life by being empowered by the Spirit.


- EQUIPPING FOR MINISTRY -

In equipping for ministry, we focus on cultivating a lifestyle of worship to minister to the Lord, on an Ephesians 4 equipping model to minister to the Church, and on preparing labourers for the harvest to effectively minister to the world.


Our history is highlighted by our focus on Christ and our close-knit community. Did we mention the beautiful creation we find ourselves in as we equip for life and ministry?


Jesus told us to make disciples. That’s what we do. That’s why we exist.
