“I’m here to tell you how important, as parents, it is for you to have our children, right out of high school, spend their first four years at a Christian College or University. Canada Christian College, here in the Toronto area, is a great school, theologically correct [and] spiritually committed to the great commission. Dr. Charles McVety, the president [is] doing a great job training champions for Christ. To my friends all over Canada, I recommend Canada Christian College to you”
A word from the Dean

Dean of Performing Arts
“I am proud of our talented and dedicated Sacred Music faculty and the exciting, innovative programs we have here at Canada Christian College. I believe that the training we provide is unique to Christian music education in Canada and our graduates are an asset to any church music experience. I’m particularly excited about the integration of the Christian Conservatory of Music, Canada syllabus and curriculum which incorporates traditional and contemporary Christian music at all levels. Alongside the RCM Examination syllabus for Classical Music repertoire, we have one of the most comprehensive and well-rounded Sacred Music programs in North America.”
Ken Michell, B.Sc., M.Th.S.
Dean of Worship
“The shape of music in the Church has changed dramatically over recent years and so has the role of those in worship leadership. The Sacred Music program at Canada Christian College provides a well-rounded study program to train and equip students in church music ministry and leading worship. While students are trained as professional musicians in areas such as performance, song development, studio recording and ensemble work, they also benefit from solid Biblical and Theological grounding. “
