One of the greatest concerns of loved ones is whether the education their student receives is recognized and reliable. MCS is a well recognized ministry training school with a charter from the Ontario government that allows the school to grant bachelor degrees in the areas of theology and Biblical Studies. With such a charter, students qualify for government funding provided through provincial and federal offices.

MCS belongs to the Association for Biblical Higher Education [ABHE]. This association helps ministry training schools achieve high academic standards as they seek to fulfill their mandate to students. The ABHE head office is located in Orlando, Florida and belongs to the Council for Higher Education Accreditation, a federal US organization that regulates education across North America. No such equivalent body exists in Canada and therefore MCS is not required to belong to such an organization. Canadian colleges and universities have no such Canadian standard accrediting body. Yet, the Board of Governors of MCS, in order to insure that the education delivered is of the highest standard, deems it important for the institution to have such an affiliation.

MCS garners the respect of fellow colleges and is also recognized by other educational institutions. Students from MCS have gone on to complete graduate degrees at public universities and colleges. As well, MCS graduates have proven successful both in ministry and academic circles. For more information testimonials, contact the Registrar’s office.

The other concern of loved ones is where their student will live and will they be comfortable. To this end, MCS has a network established where students can readily locate reliable and affordable housing. Feel free to contact our Student Development office for further information and/or visit the housing link under “Student Life” in the website menu for more information on what resources are available to students concerning housing. MCS also provides activities to help students integrate into college life and learning. Through the mentoring program, students are connected to a local church and pastoral staff. These relationships prove to be a great support while students study at MCS.

Finally, MCS is an institution run by four districts of the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada. These districts support MCS financially and have commissioned the school to train leaders for ministry. Support and encouragement from these church bodies helps MCS operate to the degree mandated by its governing body. MCS also receives students from other Evangelical backgrounds as well. The goal is to help in furthering the goals of God’s Kingdom in our world.
