core values
Millar's History
Bible Teaching
We are committed to the comprehensive teaching of
the Bible.
Servanthood
We intentionally cultivate the servant attitude of the
Lord Jesus Christ in leadership, relationships, and
responsibilities.
W.J. Millar
1856-1933
Family
Our “community of believers” approach means that
people in this unique and close setting are loved,
appreciated, and affirmed.
Holiness
We desire to walk prayerfully in obedience to God’s
Word, reflecting the character of Christ in all areas.
Mentoring
Our interactive relationships of accountability and
commitment nurture the whole person.
World Missions
We are committed to impacting the world with the
Gospel of Jesus Christ.
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.
Millar College still exists to teach
the Bible. Thousands of young men
and women have studied the Bible
at Millar and then gone on to have
vibrant ministries around the world
as missionaries, pastors, youth leaders,
and lay workers. God has faithfully
provided for and blessed the work of
Millar College of the Bible.

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.
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 Work
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.
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.

Purpose
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.

Doctrinal
Statement
We believe in...
1. the divine inspiration, inerrancy, and consequent
authority of the whole Bible,
2. the One living and true God, creator of everything, existent
eternally in three equal persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
3. the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His true
humanity, bodily resurrection, ascension, present high priestly
ministry, and pre-millennial return,
4. the rebellion and fall of man, his consequent moral depravity
and death, and need of regeneration,
5. justification by faith alone in the substitutionary death of Christ
and consequent provision of abundant life through the indwelling
of the Holy Spirit,
6. the promise that everyone born of God is eternally secure in Christ,
7. the church of Jesus Christ and the nation of Israel as God’s
covenant people,
8. the resurrection of the body, both of the just and the unjust,
9. the certainty of eternal life in heaven for the saved and eternal
punishment in hell for the lost.

Welcome to Millar
College of the Bible,
Sunnybrae Campus
2014-2015
Steve Janz Sunnybrae Campus Director
Thanks for taking time to look through our catalogue.
This will be the third year of our Sunnybrae Campus.
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!

As an extension of their on-campus

evangelical missions who share our vision
for reaching the world with the Gospel of
Jesus Christ.
