The mission of Acadia Divinity College is to equip Christians in diverse contexts with knowledge and skills to interpret the realities of life today in the light of God’s Word, to speak good news and act confidently with love and justice, and to serve the mission of God in church and world with transformative impact.

Acadia Divinity College equips people for Christian service. Students acquire excellence in academic studies, achieve competence in leadership, develop spiritual maturity in relationship with God and others, and gain confidence in sharing Christian faith in diverse contemporary contexts.

As the seminary of the Canadian Baptists of Atlantic Canada (CBAC) and the Faculty of Theology for Acadia University, ADC is built on the faith of countless individuals who have worked together to distinguish the college as a diverse, creative, and forward-thinking academic institution.

Acadia Divinity College recognizes that no building can exist without the land on which it rests to provide for, support, and uphold it. Prior to the founding of Acadia University, before the town of Wolfville, before the beginning of Nova Scotia, or the nation now known as Canada – this land was and still is Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaw people to whom the land was entrusted by the Creator. It is on this land that our building now rests.

Alongside Acadia University, we seek to walk in a good way with our Indigenous hosts, friends, and neighbours.
