Providence University College and Theological Seminary is an interdenominational Evangelical Christian university college and theological seminary located approximately south-east of Winnipeg in Otterburne, Manitoba. History The Winnipeg Bible Training School was founded in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada in 1925, and renamed a short time later to Winnipeg Bible Institute. The founding was pushed forward by Reverend H. L. Turner. When it received a provincial charter to grant theological degrees in 1949, it was renamed Winnipeg Bible Institute and College of Theology, and started a full degree-granting program and was renamed Winnipeg Bible College in 1963. In 1970, facing the demolition of its quarters, shortfall in funds, and low enrolment, the college moved 50 kilometers south to Otterburne, Man., where it acquired the vacant building of the former St. Joseph's College, a Roman Catholic high school. Enrollment that year was 70 students. A graduate division was formed as Providence Theological Seminary in 1972, which had full membership in the Association of Theological Schools (ATS). In 1992, the school was renamed Providence College and Theological Seminary. The name was further changed in 2011 to Providence University College and Theological Seminary. The school had enrollment of 525 in the University College and Seminary in 2019.
