Homecoming continues the celebration of Tyndale Seminary’s 50th Anniversary — bringing together alumni, students, faculty, staff, and friends to reconnect, celebrate Distinguished Alumni, hear stories of impact, and reflect on God’s faithfulness across generations.
Building on the foundation first laid in 1894 through the Toronto Bible Training School, Ontario Theological Seminary welcomed its first class in 1976 with a vision to equip leaders for faithful ministry in a changing world.
Fifty years later, that mission continues.
Today, Tyndale Seminary graduates serve faithfully in churches, communities, classrooms, counselling rooms, mission fields, and workplaces across Canada and around the world. Together, we celebrate many stories and one enduring mission: serving the Church and the world for the glory of God.
