Meeting the Challenge Campaign
Jesus commanded his followers to “go and make disciples” – the three initiatives in this campaign will support MCC students in meeting this challenge.
3 year goal: $1 million in additional operating funds
Online Programs
— $233,000/year
Many Bible Colleges across North America are experiencing low student enrollment in traditional programs.
MCC wants to expand our online course offerings to reach a wide demographic of students who can access courses from anywhere.
MCC started a Masters program in 2023 and plans to pursue Accreditation.
"As my first time enrolling in a fully-online program, I was not sure what to expect, but I have really enjoyed the experience. The course content is excellent, and the discussion has been very engaging.
As someone serving in full-time ministry, flexibility is key to success. It is clear that the MA program has been hand-tailored to work within the confines of a busy life like mine. MCC’s online MA program gives me complete freedom to schedule my course work around my regular responsibilities, even when my week takes an unexpected turn.
I would highly recommend this program to any ministry leader who is considering pursuing an MA, but isn’t sure they would have the time in their schedule to balance the work with their ministry."

Student Bursaries
— $40,000/year
Many students find the cost of higher education a significant financial burden.
As enrollment rises, MCC wants to increase the number of bursaries available so the majority of students receive some form of financial support.
Bursary donations encourage students to pursue courses for Christian Service.
"The bursary helped me by knocking down the financial barriers of a masters program making it possible for me to take a course and help further my ministry! "

Church Partnerships
— $60,000/year
Many churches are struggling with leadership, culture, and programs to be more effective at making disciples who make disciples.
MCC wants to partner with churches and leaders committed to disciple making.
MCC provides training resources, workshops, consulting and support for new and existing ministries across Canada.
Maritime Christian College has served our Church Family well by taking time to reach out and offering assistance where needed in ministry. We have been blessed a few times in the past year, as MCC has sent support for our Ministry staff and have helped provide a much needed rest as they have filled in Preaching.
It’s always encouraging to hear different people share something relatable that they’ve learned from the Bible and to be challenged, but one thing I’ve heard people remark is that MCC didn’t just send someone to Preach... A genuine care was seen by the way people felt time was taken to get to know them before and after the service as well.”
