Deuteronomy (2008); Genesis: Critiquing the Book for Sermon of the Arts. The College Campus becomes the center of activity
Preparation (2007); Preaching from the Letters of Paul: Ephesians during the Lectureship with the influx of visitors and alumni.
(2006); and Sermon Delivery and Presentation (2005). Friendships are made and renewed and the time of study and
learning creates excitement which proves to be, for many, the
spiritual apex of their year.
Exalt!

Every fall the College hosts a Maritime Youth Conference called


EXALT! This three-day rally is a time of Spiritual challenge and is
designed for students in grades ten and up. EXALT! consists of
special speakers, workshops, music, fellowship time, recreation and
food. The students share the planning responsibility with the faculty.
All who attend the College are expected to be active in making this an
eventful and exciting weekend for other youth who may be searching
and who need to commit their lives to deeper service to the Lord.

We endeavour to bring in speakers who have an understanding of the


issues of today’s youth. Our last five speakers were Jared Cowgur –
Inside Out (2008); Jim Midget – Is Your Armour All (2007); Brenton
Dickieson – Roaring Lambs (2006); Les Barr – Get Plugged In (2005);
and John Nicholson – Meant to Live (2004).

The Kenneth T. Norris Lectureship

Every year during the last full week of January, the College hosts a

established and in 1980 became known as the Kenneth T. Norris
Lectureship. The Lectureship provides the opportunity for the
students, friends and supporters of the College to hear some of the
