Master’s Seminary is pleased to announce the renaming of two scholarships to honour the men who were responsible for creating the school -- Rev. James MacKnight and Dr. William Griffin. The James MacKnight Scholarship ($500) and the William Griffin Scholarship ($750) are open to all students in the MTS Pentecostal Studies program. Both awards may be received once during the program.
One of Jim MacKnight’s final accomplishments as our eighth General Superintendant (1983-96) was the establishment of the first PAOC seminary. A seminary for the PAOC was an idea that had been repeatedly discussed at various levels of our constituency throughout the 80s and 90s, but there were obstacles to be overcome. Bro. MacKnight caught the vision for our first training program at a graduate level, and used his influence (and some of his own funds) to bring the idea to life in 1996.
It was in February 1996 that he called me in British Columbia to ask if I would be the Dean of the seminary. He told me some years later he considered that phone call to be one of the most significant he made as General Superintendant. It was certainly the most important call I ever received.
Bill Griffin was the architect of the seminary. He designed the structure for Canadian Pentecostal Seminary (original name of Master’s Seminary). It was to be church-based, national in scope (with campuses in the East and the West), with ties to established seminaries. He negotiated partnerships with Tyndale Seminary, Toronto and the ACTS seminaries of Trinity Western University, Langley, BC. Canadian Pentecostal Seminary began in Toronto in 1996 and then expanded the following year to a second campus in Langley.
About a month after I received a call from the General Superintendant, Bill Griffin met me in an ABC Family Restaurant in Abbotsford, BC. He explained the logistics and cautioned me about the risks – there was no guarantee, he said, that the Seminary would
succeed. It didn’t seem to me then that there was any great risk. A program pioneered by MacKnight and Griffin was destined to flourish. Dr. Griffin continues his involvement with us. He teaches “Pentecostal Theology” bi-annually in Toronto.
