Master's College and Seminary


Master's College and Seminary is a Pentecostal institution of higher education in Peterborough, Ontario, that consists of an on-campus Bible college, a global distance education program, and a church-based seminary affiliated with Tyndale University College and Seminary and located in Toronto.

History

Master's College and Seminary was established as Ontario Pentecostal Bible School in 1939 in Toronto, Ontario. In 1948, to reflect the expansion of the school constituency to include the Maritime District of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada as well as the PAONL, the name was changed to Eastern Pentecostal Bible College. In 1951 the Board of Directors authorized the purchase of Nicholls Hospital in Peterborough and relocated the College to Peterborough, where it became a residential institution. In 1981 the Nicholls Hospital was torn down and was replaced by a new dorm residence for men and women. In 1984, EPBC first began its Bachelor of Theology degree program.
In 2000, the college was merged with Canadian Pentecostal Seminary East, and renamed Master's College and Seminary, while the campus moved to Toronto. An Act respecting Master's College and Seminary was assented to June 29, 2001.
In the summer of 2010, the property in Peterborough was sold to a group of Pentecostal businessmen and MCS moved back to Peterborough to become the anchor tenant in its former buildings, with classes commencing there in fall 2010.
