History
Briercrest College was originally founded as a bible study in Briercrest, Saskatchewan. It became Briercrest Bible Institute on October 19, 1935. Preacher Henry Hildebrand served as principal, Jean Whittaker, Margaret Rusk, and Mrs. Isabel Whittaker administered and taught, while Donald McMillian later became assistant principal. Property was purchased in Caronport in 1946 that would later become the site of Caronport High School later that year. The school became an accredited bible college in 1976, and in 1982 its name was changed from Briercrest Bible Institute to Briercrest Bible College.
