The Next Chapter... by Kristen Corrigan, President

By now you have likely heard that a new chapter is about to be written in the life of ETEQ and for myself with my husband Garry. 

The recent announcement from the Board of ETEQ (see p.1) outlines the highlights, so I would like to take this opportunity to share how excited I am about where God will take us all in the next year and on into the future. 

We have all heard the expression that God works in mysterious ways. And to that I would respond with a hearty Amen. 

Not only did God lead us to Montreal in 2008, but he is now calling us back to BC in 2019. I had thought we would stay in Montreal, but God seems to have other plans for us. Many things are still a mystery in terms of details, but some things are not.

For example, the exciting mission for ETEQ, however, remains the same. 

ETEQ is a school rooted in the ongoing collaborative effort of Evangelical church families to provide university-level theological education in service to Christian communities so that men and women may be equipped to serve Christ in Quebec and all over the world.

The excitement is building as we prepare to serve those who wish to study in both French and English. 

  • Imagine, evangelical courses being offered in Quebec through a private school in partnership with a French-Canadian university – in both French and English! 
  • Imagine, men and women seeking to serve Christ in the least reached place for Christ in the Americas. 
  • Imagine partnerships being built with local, regional and national Christian agencies and denominations and also our sister schools in both the Alliance and Mennonite Brethren church families.

I stand in awe of all of you who have stood in the gap for us and for those who have prayed for all the previous iterations of Christian formation in Quebec since 1976. Thank you :

  • To those who have encouraged students to explore their walk with Jesus through advanced education. 
  • To those who serve and have served sacrificially in each school that prepares men and women for ministry. 
  • To those who have gone above and beyond to support this effort financially.

We ask you to pray that our Great God, Creator, Sustainer, Redeemer will be heard and honoured in all we do and say as he writes this next chapter for ETEQ and for us personally.
