Columbia College encourages students to foster spiritual values as part of a well-rounded liberal arts education. In religious organizations students often find friends who can accompany one another through the opportunities and challenges of college life.

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, and opportunities for spiritual growth.

Columbia College's religious organizations are:
