Program details
Overview
Bachelor of Arts in Christian Leadership is a three-year degree from Steinbach Bible College, offered both on campus and online across three progressive years the college calls Engage, Establish, and Equip. The curriculum draws roughly equally on biblical and theological studies, arts-and-sciences coursework, and professional-studies classes each year, and students complete at least one leadership-focused internship along with an annual service-learning commitment. An optional specialization can be added in areas such as Bible Teaching, Counselling Ministry, Intercultural Studies, Pastoral ministry, or Youth work. The program is aimed at adults already in leadership roles who want to strengthen their biblical grounding, cultural understanding, and practical leadership skills, whether they are serving in churches, ministries, or missions organizations. Its flexible online option and internship-based structure suit working adults balancing study with existing leadership responsibilities, and the degree is also positioned as preparation for further study at Christian seminaries or graduate schools.
Requirements
Admission Requirements: The programme page states no admission requirements of its own and points applicants to Steinbach Bible College's general Admission Standards & Processes, plus an online-learning application form for this Christian Leadership pathway. Per the Standards & Processes page, the baseline requirement is a Manitoba Senior High School Diploma or equivalent; mature students without a completed diploma may be considered individually, sometimes subject to preliminary entrance tests. Applicants must be professing Christians willing to grow in discipleship in line with SBC's mission, and must commit to the college's Community Covenant and Guidelines. The application package includes a personal information form, official transcripts, a $50 CAD fee (domestic/online) or $500 CAD (international), a faith-story narrative, a financial plan, a photo, medical information, and two references from a church leader, educator, or employer. Applicants whose first language is not English must demonstrate English competency, though no specific test-score thresholds are published.
Application Details
Start Date:September
Application Deadline:Steinbach Bible College publishes no fixed application deadline for Fall entry for either domestic or international applicants, and its admissions page describes only the online application process and fees ($50 CAD domestic, $500 CAD international) rather than a closing date, consistent with rolling admission for the 2026-27 cycle. International applicants are advised to submit all paperwork, including their study-permit application, at least six months before their intended entrance term and to apply for a study permit within 60 days of receiving a Provincial Attestation Letter; full tuition payment and an accepted study permit are due 30 days before the start date, meaning 1 August for a September start. SBC does not use a provincial application service. These are institution-wide dates; this programme publishes no deadline of its own.
