Columbia College encourages students to foster spiritual values as part of a well-rounded liberal arts education. In a religious organization, a student may find a "home away from home," where she finds support in negotiating challenges to her faith, new insights into religion and spirituality, opportunities for spiritual growth, and friends who can accompany one another through the opportunities and challenges of college life.

Columbia College's religious organizations are:
