Eston College is a private Christian post-secondary educational institution located in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada.
The five men on this committee were Glen McLean, Lorne Pritchard, Ron Burnside, Elmer Powers, and Harold Hollands.
[3] These five men built the foundation for the Full Gospel Bible Institute (FGBI) which opened its doors on November 6, 1944, welcoming six students.
The early years depended upon adjunct faculty such as Lorne Pritchard, Ern Baxter, and Albert Marshall.
[6] In a meeting in Eston on October 8, 1953, the governing bodies of FGBI and the Apostolic Missionary Training Institute (AMTI) met for the final time to complete the merger of the two Bible schools.
Notably FGBI Press, Summer Institute of Missions, the A. D. Marshall Library, The Bible and Science Department, and was host to numerous conferences and gatherings.
Alan Mortensen would lead FGBI through the next 12 years seeing growth and change take place as time progressed through the eighties and nineties.
During Alan Mortensen's tenure as president, there was a devastating fire that destroyed the chapel which led to further campus development, there were new ministry opportunities that were made available, and a flag was adopted for the institution.
During Atkinson's time at FGBI, there was significant campus development and a newly recognized desire to see the School move toward accreditation so it could offer degrees and transferable credits.
In 2020, Sean Stevenson-Douglas returned to Canada after 6 years as a global missions worker in the Near East to become the President of Eston College.
