Capernwray Harbour Bible School
Capernwray Harbour Bible School is an evangelical Christian post-secondary institution located on Thetis Island, British Columbia, Canada.
The school was established by a Capernwray Hall alumnus, Charles Fordham, in 1979. The school offers a unique mix of indoor and outdoor classes, hosting about 140 students each year from up to 20 countries. Over the summer recess period, over 4,000 participants are usually hosted for predominantly Christian-oriented holiday courses.
The primary purpose and ministry of Capernwray is Christian education. Its goal is to offer students training in Bible study, evangelical outreach, leadership development, community living, and personal discovery through discipleship. According to school founder Charles Fordham, the mission of Capernwray is the "training of men and women to be equipped for full-time Christian service, regardless of their occupation,"〔Fordham, Charles ("Capernwray Mission Statement" ), retrieved May 1, 2008〕 following the ideas expounded by Major W. Ian Thomas.〔The Mystery of Godliness. Grand Rapids: Zondervan Publishing House. ©1974〕
==History==
The site of Capernwray Harbour Bible School was first settled by Henry Severn in 1886. Despite the school being named for a Capernwray Harbour, it is in fact located on the shores of Preedy Harbour. Severn built a log cabin on the property; the subsequent owner, H. Burchell, added Preedy Hall, one of the largest buildings on the Gulf Islands at the time, and home to a store, a chapel, and a ballroom.〔Oke, Kevin ("History of Thetis Island" ), "Gulf Island Guides", retrieved April 17, 2008〕 In 1924 the property was sold to Hans Hunter, who built the Main Hall in 1926 after a devastating fire. In 1979, Charles and Marlene Fordham formed a Board of Directors to begin operations for a Bible School on the site, signed a lease to purchase, and opened the school with an inaugural class of 77 students.〔Fordham, Charles ("Capernwray Centre Beginnings" ), retrieved July 31, 2009〕 Current School buildings and facilities include a gymnasium, lecture hall, outdoor amphitheatre, climbing tower, several kilometres of trails, and accommodations for 150.〔Joslin, Elizabeth ("Capernwray Facilities" ), retrieved April 17, 2008〕
