Serving Students, Forming Leaders: Rev. Cheryl Ritskes Joins Horizon and MCS
Horizon College & Seminary and Master’s College & Seminary (MCS) is pleased to announce that Rev. Cheryl Ritskes is joining our faculty as an Instructor and Associate Director of Student Engagement, with her role beginning in July of 2026.
In addition to her academic training (B.A., B.Ed., and M.T.S.), Cheryl is an ordained minister with the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada.
Pastor Cheryl brings a unique blend of ministry experience, having served as a pastor for eleven years, first on the prairies in rural Alberta (Chauvin) and then at a primarily Ghanaian church in the city of Toronto. In the last few years, Cheryl has also served as an adjunct instructor with MCS and Horizon and at Pan Africa Christian University in Nairobi, Kenya.
Dr. Andrew Gabriel, VP Academics at Horizon and MCS, remarks, “We are blessed to have Pastor Cheryl join our faculty. She has demonstrated pastoral wisdom and a commitment to seeing our students formed in the image of Christ and as ministers of the gospel.”
Pastor Cheryl will serve at the MCS campus in Mississauga. As Associate Director of Student Engagement, Pastor Cheryl will direct MCS and Horizon’s undergraduate Ministry Formation program and, alongside other staff, support students on campus and across our national network of Church Hubs.
Welcome, Pastor Cheryl, to the team at Horizon and MCS!
We look forward to you joining us as we prepare competent Christian leaders with the church, for the church.
