SEMBEQ is an evangelical Baptist seminary based out of Montreal, Quebec. SEMBEQ was founded in 1973 in response to a lack of formal training to train up leaders. It is not a residential seminary, but one that works directly in and through local French Baptist churches, helping them train up pastors, evangelists, church planters, teachers and leaders from within their congregation. Churches were being planted, but the leaders and elders in the church had no formal seminary training and for them to leave their churches for four years would be out of the question. SEMBEQ’s main goal from the beginning was church based training—to train churches to train their leaders.
