Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute is a Christian Bible institute in Camrose, Alberta, centred on biblical and theological education.
Canadian Lutheran Bible Institute (CLBI) is located at 4837 52A St., Camrose, AB, T4V 1W5, Canada. Biblical and theological education is the basis of CLBI, and study of the Holy Bible is central. CLBI's president is Rev. Erik Osness.
CLBI accepts the Canonical Books of the Old and New Testament as the revealed Word of God and the only sufficient and infallible rule and standard of faith and practice. It also accepts and confesses the three oldest Symbols, the Apostolic, Nicene, and Athanasian Creeds, along with the unaltered Augsburg Confession. CLBI baptizes infants, who become members of Christ's believing church through baptism.
The first year is a one-year program that may also be taken as a gap year, focusing on fundamentals in biblical and theological education, Christian vocation, and student formation in an intentional Christian community. Successful completion earns a Certificate of Christian Discipleship & Biblical Studies. Year two adds an emphasis on leadership development and cross-cultural experience through the IMPACT program, and successful completion earns a Diploma in Christian Leadership & Mission. Some students continue toward one of two bachelor degree options, typically lasting another two years.
Facilities listed include two dormitories, Vinge Centre, Pearson Hall, an ARC shelter with an outdoor courtyard, a cafeteria, a kitchen, an auditorium, and a main classroom. The Community Student Program offers intentional Christian community to students studying in other programs, either online or at a nearby post-secondary institution. It includes room and board, utilities, in-dorm laundry, wifi, library access, quiet study spaces, student lounges, mentorship, off-campus retreats, and daily prayer and worship services.
CLBI offers a standard application for 1st Year and 2nd Year entry, including the Community Student Program, as well as an international student admission route.
