We want to express together our deep sorrow at the sudden closure of Spurgeon’s College and assure students and staff of our daily thoughts and prayers. Spurgeon’s has provided training and formation in Baptist life and beyond since 1856. Baptists Together and the Christian world will be the poorer for the passing of a great institution. We each commit ourselves to continue to provide the best possible formation for ministry and mission at this crucial moment in the life of our Union and our nation. We also want to express a shared commitment to cooperate together in the most appropriate ways towards that end.
