Gardner College

Description

Alberta Bible Institute came into existence in 1933 to meet the need for a centre of Biblical studies in Canada. Under the leadership of the late Dr. Harry C. Gardner, principal and president for the first twenty years of its life, the College began its development. In the second year of its growth, Gardner was joined by the German Bible Institute from Medicine Hat, Alberta, led by the Rev. Jacob Wiens. In March 1947, by act of the Provincial Legislature, Alberta Bible Institute received its Charter of Incorporation. In 1981, the name was changed to Gardner Bible College. In 1993, the College became Gardner College, a Centre for Christian Studies. For more than 70 years the College has persisted in maintaining academic excellence with a strong spiritual emphasis. Gardner College has endeavoured to keep alive the atmosphere of "Koinonia" fellowship; the family of God sharing and growing together. It is believed that in this setting students are challenged to realize their highest potential. This is evidenced by missionaries, pastors, educators, and many committed lay persons who have taken responsible positions in both the church and society. Since we live in a society of continual change, an evaluation of the program is continually taking place in order to meet the demand for sound Christian higher education
