Frequently Asked Questions

Will my son or daughter be cared for and nurtured in their Christian walk?

The staff at EBC including the Campus Pastor and Director of Student Life actively work to make sure that each student enters a discipleship relationship their first semester at EBC.  We realize that the transition is a hard one for many students and we know the importance of having someone that they can talk to and who can point them to Scripture.  All students, new and returning, have the opportunity to be in a Discipleship Lab with a member of the faculty or staff, but beyond that many of our students seek out individual discipleship relationships with leaders in different churches and faculty and staff at EBC.  We desire that each student does not just attain knowledge during their time here at EBC, but applies it to every part of his or her life.

How does housing work?

Students are responsible for finding their own housing.  All of our students either live at home, rent a room, or live in an apartment.  Our student life department works hard to connect students with other students who need housing or roommates.  Every semester that EBC has been in existence, housing has worked out perfectly down to the student.  On average, students pay between $400 to $600 a month for rent. 

Is it hard to find a job in Simi Valley?

Though finding a job is rarely fun and requires a certain amount of diligence, there are plenty of jobs in and near Simi Valley.  We have a lot of coffee shops and retail stores that hire frequently.  In our experience, if a student genuinely wants to have a job, they will have no trouble finding one.

What is student life like at EBC?

Student Life at EBC is a lot of fun.  We have a variety of planned activities that the students can take part in, as well as many random activities that the students throw together at the last minute which provide a great sense of community.  Students at EBC generally do a great job of forming and maintaining a sense of community.  Many students live in local apartments and serve alongside one another in ministries of the church. Through involvement in EBC and serving in a local church, your student should have no problem being a vital part of a strong community.

What should I expect for my son or daughter from EBC?

A challenge. You can expect your student to be learning things that will challenge their worldview and teach them to see the world with God at the center.  Your student will grow both academically as well as personally.  Your student will be challenged in his or her devotion to God and service of Him in the world.  Our hope is that your student grows into a mature Christian who understands the big picture of who God is and what He is doing in the world.
