What We Do

  1. Draw people from every area of work, ethnicity, community and background together to encourage one another to grow to become people of influence.
  2. Offer a variety of opportunities for post-secondary students of faith to learn from men and women who influence the province and nation today, in how to integrate their faith into their areas of work and service.
  3. Encourage the words and actions of Jesus to be applied to every level of society in order to address current and future local and world issues.
  4. Challenge post-secondary students, who God has blessed with resources of all kinds generously apply and share these resources with others in God’s kingdom and world who have suffered from the needs, iniquities, pains and divisions all within our province, nation and the world.

I. Forum Discussions

The Annual BC Student Forum is a half-day forum that facilitates dialogue between leading Christian professionals and students on faith and vocation. Christian leaders are given the rare opportunity to speak directly into the lives of students by sharing from their perspective on what it means and takes to be a Christian in today’s work world. The forum creates opportunities for students to ask meaningful questions of professionals in their fields concerning a multitude of issues surrounding faith and work.

The BC Student Forum facilitates ongoing discussion on how diverse professions can play a role in the shaping of a civil and just world. The Forum partners regularly with various movements and organizations to provide students with opportunities to dialogue with civic, community, and social justice leaders at the local and national level.

II. Building Community

The BC Student Forum facilitates relationships between students and professionals through one-on-one mentoring, and informal group gatherings.

The BC Student Forum not only recognizes the need for Christ in the workplace, but the need for workplace members to be involved in the needs of Vancouver’s Downtown East Side. The BC Student Forum encourages students to volunteer and partner with ministries in the Downtown Eastside on a regular basis.
