Elie Haddad Biography

Born and raised in Lebanon, Elie immigrated to Canada towards the end of the civil war in Lebanon in 1990. He worked for 15 years in Toronto as a senior Information Systems & Management consultant.

During his work, Elie felt called to ministry and so enrolled in a Masters of Theological Studies (MTS) program at Tyndale Seminary in Toronto alongside his involvement with the Middle East Baptist Church in Mississauga where he served as a member of a lay pastoral team.

In 2005, Elie and his wife Mireille felt called to return to Lebanon, where - as a missionary with the Canadian Baptist Ministries (CBM) – Elie joined the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary (ABTS) serving as Provost until 2008 when he became President.

Elie, currently pursuing a PhD in missional ecclesiology at the International Baptist Theological Seminary (IBTS) in Amsterdam, has a heart for the mobilization of the Church.
