The mission of Acadia Divinity College is to train ministers, missionaries and other religious workers for Christian service, especially those of the Baptist denomination (College Act of Incorporation). More precisely, our purpose is to train men and women for leadership roles in the Church of Jesus Christ and for its various ministries. Our roots are deep and have a long history! As early as 1830, Baptists in Nova Scotia established a department of pious scholars at Horton Academy in Wolfville (founded 1828) for ministerial training. With the founding of what became Acadia University in 1838, preparation of persons for ministry was carried on under various formats until the School of Theology was put on a more formal footing in 1923. When Acadia University was reorganized in 1966, the Baptists of Atlantic Canada were given the right to operate the school of theology under the name Acadia Divinity College, and on June 1, 1968, the College was established by an act of the Nova Scotia Legislature. Today the College exists as the official seminary of the Convention of Atlantic Baptist Churches, functioning within its biblical/evangelical tradition, and continues as the Faculty of Theology of Acadia University. The University awards all of our degrees. In addition, Acadia Divinity College is an accredited member of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.
