Heritage College & Seminary is an evangelical Canadian institution of higher education located in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.
History
Central Baptist Seminary was itself formed out of a split in fundamentalist Baptist ranks when, in 1948, firebrand Baptist leader Thomas Todhunter Shields, then head of the Union of Regular Baptist Churches of Ontario and Quebec, dismissed Dean W. Gordon Brown from his seminary. Brown and 50 students then went on to begin a new seminary holding more moderate positions under the direction of President Jack Scott.[1] The first number of years the seminary was housed at Forward Baptist Church in Toronto, Ontario. In its formative years, CBS provided undergraduate and graduate theological education until the mid-1980s. In later years the seminary was moved to Gormley, Ontario (north of Toronto).
London Baptist Seminary began in 1976 in London, Ontario. The school provided undergraduate and graduate theological education. In 1981, the school's name changed to London Baptist Bible College and London Baptist Seminary (LBBC & LBS).
In 1991, the Ontario legislature officially recognized the seminary as a degree-granting institution through the passage of "An Act to Incorporate the Heritage Baptist College and Heritage Theological Seminary, 1991, 1991".[2]
Heritage was founded in 1993 through the merger of the former London Baptist Bible College and Seminary of London, Ontario and Central Baptist Seminary of Toronto, Ontario.[3]
Accreditation
As an institution granting both undergraduate and graduate degrees, all of Heritage's degrees are accredited by The Association for Biblical Higher Education. The graduate school is an associate member of the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada.[4]
Governance
Heritage is governed by a Board of Governors composed of distinguished Christian leaders from across Ontario. Heritage has adopted a Carver Policy Governance model for the Board of Governors and the institution.

The current President of Heritage College & Seminary is Rick Reed. Reed's appointment to the office began in January 2013. Before Reed, Marvin Brubacher held the presidency from 1993 until 2011.
The Vice President of Academics is J. Stephen Yuille. Yuille also serves as the Academic Dean of the College.
Barry Howson is the Academic Dean of the Seminary.[2]
