Later known as Toronto BibLe College, it merged with the London College of Bible and Missions in 1968 to become Ontario Bible College. The Seminary was estabLished in 1976 to offer graduate theoLogical education. In 1998, the name Tyndale was assumed, honouring William Tyndale (1494-1536), the early English reformer whose commitment to making Scripture avaiLable to all persons led him to undertake the first English translation of the Bible. He is a model for scholarship, faith, and vision. In 2003, Tyndale was accorded university college status by the Province of Ontario. In 2007, Tyndale received approval from the Ontario Ministry of Training, Colleges and Universities and from the Ontario College of Teachers to offer a Bachelor of Education program. The Seminary’s graduate degrees, including the Doctor of Ministry degree, are accredited by The Association of TheologicaL Schools in the United States and Canada (ATS). In 2007, Tyndale purchased the Morrow Park property from the Sisters of St. Joseph of Toronto. Tyndale is an evangelicaL, multi-denominational school with more than 9,500 alumni. [ Heading 3.2 ] THE MISSION Tyndale is dedicated to the pursuit of truth, to excellence in teaching, learning and research, for the enriching of mind, heart and character, to serve the church and the world for the glory of God.
