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
6 people giving $10/week develops one course for a program
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.
“These college courses are exactly for the church today. It is more than gaining head knowledge “theology”, instead these courses get you in the right mind and heart to be disciple makers. The format is through answering thought provoking questions, online interaction with other students and staff, one weekly reading, assignment and reflection. The teachers live and breathe what they teach. That in itself makes a big difference. My wife and I have been really blessed and encouraged because real equipping has to do with not only head knowledge, but also heart revelation. We wish we would of done this years ago, but are thankful we’re doing it now.”

Student Bursaries
— $40,000/year
$10/week provides a bursary for one or more students
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
2 people giving $10/week enables MCC staff to travel and lead a weekend session at a local Church
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.”
