A walk can really clear the mind but, more importantly, it affords a great opportunity to commune with God. I also enjoy reading highly recommended books and reminiscing about the days when I was not so athletically challenged. I might say that my passion is chocolate, but it really is my wife, Shelly, and my two children, Katie and Josh. It is an honour to be serving the Lord as the fifth president of Eston College.” Chancellor Willard Mitchell Diploma, FGBI, 1961; Teaching Certificate, University of Regina, 1963; Teacher/Vice Principal (2 years), Eston Elementary School; Served in a variety of roles at Eston College 1965-2005, Assistant Dean, English teacher, Administrator, Vice President, Development; Appointed Chancellor 2007 - present.

As we study the Bible together, we meet the God who made the universe in the face of Jesus Christ, the God-Man. But the best part of this story is that we are all part of it, for the Spirit of the same God dwells in each Christian, empowering them to act out their role in this grand story.” Josh loves computers, video games, juggling, magic, ultimate frisbee, disc golf, and his wife Laura. Laura Chalmers - ESL Director Associate Degree in Biblical Studies, Eston College, 2003; Bachelor of Arts in Intercultural Studies with an Emphasis in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages), Briercrest College, 2007; 2009 - present. “Inviting the nations to study at Eston College brings a concrete sense of global awareness and mission to the lives of our students. Studying the Bible in a multi-cultural setting reminds us that the body of Christ is bigger than we usually realize. ESL is an essential part of the mission of Eston College, and my prayer is that God’s love will make us of one heart and mind as we study his word together.” Laura loves coffee, ice cream, scrapbooking, crosswords, and her husband Josh.

  • Report for 2016 Annual Convention Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary & College • President • Rob Blackaby
    Report for 2016 Annual Convention Canadian Southern Baptist Seminary & College • President • Rob Blackaby Introduction In recent years I have been reflecting afresh on what it means to be a Christian leader in today’s cultural context. To get that right will dramatically influence how we function as a theological school in Canada today. To get that wrong will result in our school being swept up in confusion and chaos as we rage against the winds of societal change and shifting cultural values. There is no greater calling in this life than to be a child of God. Everything else we will ever do of any worth hinges on our commitment to this. Every choice we make matters, because it is always part of a sweeping set of choices that will either lead us closer to Christ (and therefore into deeper fellowship with Him, acquaintance with His Word, affection for His people, and identification with His purposes) or further from Him (and therefore into the shallows of human existence and selfish indulgence). In light of this, Jesus’ difficult words in Luke 17:1ff are searching with regards to obedience in the life of a disciple. We say that we exist to train God-called men and women for twenty-first century leadership in tough places. We say this knowing that the fulfillment of such a vision will cost us much! We seek to live our lives in such a way that at the end of it we can say with integrity, “I am an unworthy servant; I have only done my duty.” If that is to be the case, we need daily to put into practice three critical and counter-cultural lessons.

  • The Legacy of ACOP
    The Legacy of ACOP “Those who fail to learn from history are condemned to repeat it.” – Sir Winston Churchill “Why study history? Unlike physics or economics, history is not a means for making accurate predictions. We study history not to know the future but to widen our horizons, to understand that our present situation is neither natural nor inevitable, and that we consequently have many more possibilities before us than we can imagine.” Yuval Noah Harari – A Brief History of Mankind Introduction: Is the statement ‘The Twin Towers fell down on 9/11 because of gravity’, true or false? The correct answer is that it is true. While this statement is technically true, it explains nothing of any significance about the tragic events of that day. Nor does it adequately address the factors such as American foreign policy or the rise of militant Islam and other factors which provide the historic context for that moment in time.1 Understanding the historic context of events such as 9/11 gives us greater insight into why these events transpired, and what significance they have for us. I. The Legacy of ACOP Course will: • Explore the historical and theological context that gave rise to the modern Pentecostal movement, and in particular the Apostolic Church of Pentecost of Canada. • Examine the development of ACOP from a local church revival to a global movement of more that 1400 churches. • Inform ministers and members alike of the rich spiritual legacy they have received, through the Apostolic Church of Pentecost. 1 This question originated with Carl Trueman in The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self P a g e | 2 II.
