Discover God’s Word
Each year, Capernwray Harbour’s Bible School welcomes about 100 students of various ages, nationalities and denominations. Together with our staff, students form a community that seeks to discover the character of Jesus Christ and to experience the transforming power of His indwelling Life.
PROGRAMME HIGHLIGHTS
Personal Discovery through Discipleship
We offer a unique mix of indoor and outdoor classes, incorporating our uniquely beautiful natural surroundings into the Bible School experience. We can’t place a grade on the work that Christ is doing in a person’s heart, which is why our programme focuses on personal discovery through discipleship rather than academic achievement.
Classroom
The Bible School curriculum covers roughly 75% of the books of the Bible and emphasis is placed on personal discovery through discipleship rather than on academic achievement.
Workday
Each Wednesday, students and staff work together to care for the grounds and facilities. From feeding the farm animals to landscaping and gardening, Workdays are a healthy and refreshing change of pace.
Daily Duties
Each student contributes to community life by performing daily chores like setting tables or general cleaning. It’s a great way to learn how individual actions impact the whole community.
Sunday Evenings
We begin the week together with a formal celebration of God’s goodness to us. Students dress in semi-formal attire, attend a beautiful dinner, and join together to praise God through song and lessons learned from the teaching of the Bible during the week.
Intramural Sports
Much of what students discover in class during Bible study is put into practice outside of the classroom. Recreational sports like floor hockey, volleyball, basketball and soccer foster community and build relationships.
Outreach Ministries
There are a variety of outreach contexts at Capernwray Harbour where the students can participate in learning to love and serve those in the wider world.
Ventures
Ventures take students out to explore some of the most breathtaking locations on Canada’s West Coast. This a great opportunity to get to know fellow students and witness Jesus Christ as He is revealed in creation!

LEADERSHIP TRAINING PROGRAMME
Put Truth into Action in Your Life
Second-year students in the Leadership Training Programme discover and learn through the study and meditation in God’s Word, in daily experience and in community, the dynamic of leadership through servanthood; learning to think through “why we believe what we believe”; learning to know Christ in the power of His indwelling resurrection Life. Leadership is by influence, not merely by position. This group of 20 or fewer students is mentored and discipled through their training time by resident staff.
