in association with the ACTS consortium at Trinity Western University. The original campus became known as CPS East, while the new campus was named CPS West. By affiliating with local seminaries, the two CPS campuses were able to offer accredited courses and programs under the auspices of established schools without the cost associated with building a self-standing seminary. However, this model would not last long due to disagreement about whether campuses should be governed nationally or regionally. In 1999, governance of the two campuses were formally separated. CPS East serviced a district from Ontario to the Maritimes. CPS West serviced a district from Manitoba to British Columbia. In 2000, Eastern Pentecostal Bible College was merged with Canadian Pentecostal Seminary/East. The merged institution was renamed Master's College and Seminary on June 29, 2001. Soon after, all operations were consolidated in Toronto. The former property in Peterborough was eventually sold. In the summer of 2010, MCS moved back to Peterborough, becoming the anchor tenant in the same buildings which had previously been sold. Classes commenced there in fall 2010. In 2021, they celebrated its 25th anniversary as a seminary under the direction of the Dean, Dr. Van Johnson.
