Community

Each program has an annual fall retreat within the first couple weeks of the school year. This time is set aside to build community and connection, with God and others in the program.

The heart of the spiritual life at Vanguard is the chapel services held on Tuesdays. On a weekly basis we gather as a community to engage in corporate worship and the Word.

Gym Drop-in: Students are welcome to organize activities like Floor Hockey, Basketball, Volleyball, and exercise classes in our gym.

Sports Teams: Throughout the year there are various opportunities for students to participate in community league team sports organized through Campus Life. (e.g soccer, basketball, volleyball)

The prayer room is open Mon-Fri for students to go and pray. Each morning students and staff are welcome to come together. It is open 1 hour before the first class for early morning prayer.

All students participate in a time of community and small group discipleship (weekly or bi-weekly) led by upper year students and staff members.

Vanguard’s Student Council is an integral part of College life and plays a role in furthering the mission of the college to Develop and Mobilize Spirit-Empowered Leaders. The Council serves the student body in three key areas: Community, Spiritual Tone and Advocacy.

Each semester, several days are set aside for students to experience spiritual refreshment in the midst of their studies. These services are designed to encourage the community to integrate Biblical knowledge into their hearts and lives.

Students who encounter difficulties in their spiritual life, academic load, social relationships, etc., are reminded that the Campus Life Team are available to counsel and provide guidance to students.

In the event that a student requires professional counselling from a registered psychologist or counsellor, Vanguard College may assist with referrals and finances through the Campus Pastor's offices.
