Why attend Spurgeon College?

1

Commitment to Scripture

One thing that will never change at Spurgeon College is the robust and rigorous devotion to the Bible. Like the Prince of Preachers for whom the college has been named, we are devoted to God’s word and believe it is inspired, inerrant, and infallible. If man cannot live except by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God, what would our preparation of young men and women be without rooting them in those very words? Whether a student is preparing for vocational ministry or preparing for the marketplace, Spurgeon College believes the best equipping for the world is a grounding in the word.

A kingdom mindset

One thing hasn’t changed since Spurgeon’s day, and it is this: the temptations to drift from the unchanging word of God are found both in the religious world and out. Spurgeon sought to hold the fort for orthodoxy during the Downgrade Controversy while at the same time seeking to apply the Bible’s vision for God’s rule in the world to social and institutional issues of his day. His was a whole kingdom mindset, and Spurgeon College’s vision of existing For the Kingdom is providing students with the same.
