Millar's History
W.J. Millar
1856-1933
H.W. Peeler
1910-2005
While preaching in Scotland, D. L.
Moody led William J. Millar to Christ.
Mr. Millar came to Canada to preach
and was invited to begin Bible classes
in Moose Jaw, SK. In 1932 the school
moved to Pambrun, SK, and Herbert
W. Peeler was asked to help with the
teaching. In January of 1933, Reverend
Millar passed away leaving Mr. Peeler
to guide the school. By God’s grace,
Mr. Peeler directed the college for over
fifty vital years of ministry.

Who We Are
OUR VISION
The vision of Millar College of the Bible is to develop passionate,
relevant servants of Jesus Christ who are shaped by the entire Scriptures.
core values
INTEGRAL EDUCATION
Bible Teaching
in-'te-grəl :
We are committed to the comprehensive
teaching of the entire Scriptures.
Servanthood
We are committed to developing servants
of Jesus Christ through our integral model
of education.
Family (Community)
We are committed to cultivating an atmosphere of community where we love,
appreciate and affirm each other.
Holiness
We are committed to nurturing holiness
through submission to the Holy Spirit and
obedience to God’s Word.

We are committed to intentionally promoting
mentoring relationships in our staff and
students.
World Missions
We are committed to the Great Commission
of spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ
through local and global missions.
The Local Church
We are committed to partnering with
and supporting the ministries of the
local church.
essential to completeness,
lacking nothing essential
The goal of Millar’s Integral
Model of Education is that
the ‘whole student’ would be
moved to deeper maturity in
Jesus and that no essentials
of that development and
education would be lacking.
Most postsecondary institutions focus primarily on
academics. The knowledge piece is critical in Millar’s approach
to education, but it is not the only focus. Our desire is that our
students would love Jesus more and serve Him more effectively
as their whole life is impacted because of their time at Millar.
Here are Millar’s four areas of the Integral Model:
• BIBLE KNOWLEDGE
• CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT
• LIFE SKILLS
• RELATIONSHIPS
Student Life
Community life will be a significant experience
in your time at college. Living in residence
provides a unique education which will assist in
your overall preparation for life and ministry.
Personal Lifestyle
Chapels
Internet Access
As a student at Millar, you agree to
conduct yourself according to biblical
standards of holiness. Specific guidelines are in place to facilitate healthy
community living.
Four chapel services each week bring
the college family together for corporate prayer, praise, sharing, guest
speakers, and preaching the Word.
Wireless Internet access is available in
the dorms and in the library.
Residences and Housing
All Millar students are given a work
assignment. These responsibilities
create a sense of teamwork and are a
valuable part of character development.
The average student worker contributes
three to four hours per week.
Life of Devotion
We strongly encourage students to
observe regular quiet times in order
to help develop a closer relationship
with God.
Mentoring
Mentoring relationships bring a deeper
level of connection to our college community and play a vital role in developing spiritual maturity and personal
wholeness. These relationships lend
perspective, create accountability,
generate new ideas, and provide a
listening ear.
Day of Prayer
One day each semester is set aside for
personal reflection and prayer for all
members of the student body.
Church Attendance
In the fall, students are asked to commit
to a church for that year. Students are
encouraged to inform the pastor and
their Student Leaders of their intent.
Student Work
Students are expected to live in dorms
and generally share a room with
another student. Dorms offer laundry
facilities, basic kitchen facilities, pay
phones, lounges, and pop machines.
Housing is available in apartment-style
suites for student families. Rental
houses may also be available within the
community. There are serviced lots for
those wanting to set up mobile home
accommodation.
Student Leadership Team
The student leadership team plays
a significant role in the spiritual and
social activities of the student body.
They also represent student perspectives to the college administration.
Personal Appearance
Deans
Millar uses appearance guidelines to
ensure that the biblical standard of
modesty, as well as the cultural
expectations of neatness and
cleanliness, are upheld.
Deans direct residence and student life.
Student Leaders work with the deans to
facilitate healthy community living.
Field Ed
Practical ministry experience is something that each student will participate
in during their time at Millar. There are
numerous possibilities to consider,
each with an emphasis on using team
dynamics to help in personal growth
and effective ministry to others.
Recreation
Besides numerous recreational opportunities available in the gym, weight
room, sports field, and outdoor skating
rink, the student lounge offers a snack
bar, ping-pong, foosball, social
interaction, and other activities.
Entertainment
TVs, DVD players, and game consoles are
not permitted in the dorms. Guidelines
are in place for computer gaming and
movie watching.

reaching out
Millar drama encourages a vision for arts
initiatives in missions. We perform locally
and internationally with a wide repertoire of
material. Drama teams and classes explore a
variety of theatre styles in building outreach
avenues. We aim for excellence using our gifts
for the sake of the gospel.
As an extension of their on-campus
education, many students at Millar are
given the opportunity to participate in a
short-term missions trip, usually overseas.
Experiencing a different culture can be life
changing and helps bring into focus a
global perspective of how God is working
outside the student’s particular context.
Our commitment is to partner with
evangelical missions who share our vision
for reaching the world with the Gospel of
Jesus Christ.

SUNNYBRAE
Welcome to Millar
College of the Bible,
Sunnybrae Campus
Steve Janz Sunnybrae Campus Director
Thanks for taking time to look through our catalogue.
Even though our BC Campus is smaller in size than our
Saskatchewan Campus, the core courses are the same
and our purpose is the same—to develop passionate,
relevant servants of Jesus Christ who are shaped by the
entire Scriptures.
Located in the interior of BC, Millar Sunnybrae has a
decidedly different feel to it. If you want the opportunity
to study the Bible and grow in your relationship with God
while surrounded by beautiful lakes and mountains then
the Sunnybrae Campus of Millar College of the Bible
might be the place for you!
