Men and women from more than twenty countries come to Providence University College and Seminary for university education and evangelical ministry training.
Welcome to the websites of Providence University College and Seminary!
I have been connected to Providence in some fashion since 1972, most of my adult life! This is a great school that has had a large impact in my life and in the lives of many people just like you.
Providence University College educates people to think live and serve in church and society. With Saint Anselm, we follow the principle of fides quaerens intellectum, “faith seeking understanding.” This means that we pursue knowledge and training from within a Christian ethic and worldview.
Providence Seminary serves the church in the accomplishment of its mission by training and supporting leaders, developing resources, and fostering theological reflection.
The Providence English Language Institute provides English classes for academic purposes to people whose first language is other than English.
Providence is located thirty minutes south of Winnipeg, Manitoba, on a 100-acre campus nestled on a small river. In addition to our 475 students, 27 full-time faculty, and 50 staff, many people partner with Providence as volunteers and by investing their financial resources in our mission.
Providence University College is the oldest Christian College in Manitoba. It began in 1925 as a non-denominational theological college in the city of Winnipeg. In 1972 the college moved to a campus in Otterburne, taking over the facilities of a former Catholic school. As a small liberal arts college in the evangelical tradition the goal of academics at Providence is to integrate knowledge of the natural and social environment with a Christian understanding of life in this world. Providence Alumni make an impact as public and private school teachers, teachers of English to speakers of other languages in Canada and other countries, airplane pilots, operators of small businesses, and media specialists. Many undertake further study at public universities, seminaries, and in professional certifications. We offer students assistance in achieving course transferability into these institutions.
Educational experience at Providence is characterized by diversity. More than twenty countries are represented in the student body each year from a variety of Christian denominations. A Providence education builds bridges to those of other cultures and faith histories. Students are encouraged to become stronger in their own tradition by learning to understand and respect those of other traditions.
