Waypoints

What is the Waypoints Program?

The Waypoints Program is designed for you to become aware of yourself emotionally, mentally, and spiritually as you prepare to be humble leaders!

Academics at Boise Bible outlines a path for students to follow as they chase their educational goals and Waypoints helps them to make sense of that journey. It also helps you to know and transform your own Christ-centered purpose!

Become not only better in your chosen profession, but also become a better person and follower of Jesus!

"Boise Bible College not only cares about academics, they also care about who you are becoming. The Waypoints Program is one of the ways the college helps you in this endeavor."
