Spurgeon College Closing After 169 Years

Spurgeon’s College, a London-based Baptist institution founded in 1856 by Charles Haddon Spurgeon, announced in a press release that it has shuttered its doors for good, citing financial hardships and struggles.

Founded in 1856 by Charles Haddon Spurgeon when he was just 22 years old, nearly 900 pastors were trained at the College during the esteemed Baptist preacher’s lifetime, and almost 200 new churches were planted in Britain alone.

Now with the mission to “train men and women for evangelism, ministry, and pastoral leadership,” the College has faced cricitism of theological compromise over the years, including naming ‘Purpose Driven Life; pastor Rick Warren the honorary and ceremonial head of the institutio in 2023– an official and ambassadorial role where the Warren as Chancellor would serve as “a vital advocate for the vision, gospel mission and values (nationally and internationally) of Spurgeon’s College.”

The school shared in a press release:

With deep sadness and great regret, the Board of Trustees of Spurgeon’s College announces that, the College will close with immediate effect.

Like many higher education institutions—particularly within the Theology sector—Spurgeon’s College has faced significant financial challenges for several years, driven by declining student numbers and an increasingly complex and difficult financial landscape.

In recent months, the College partnered with a charitable foundation that provided vital financial support and offered assurances to both the College and the Office for Students of continued funding. However, this relationship was, without warning, unexpectedly terminated on 21 July 2025. As a result, the College can no longer sustain its financial operations and has been left with no choice but to enter the insolvency process immediately.

Our immediate priority is to protect the interests of our students and staff as far as possible during this deeply challenging time.

We understand this news will come as a profound shock to many. The trustees, leadership, and staff of Spurgeon’s College have worked tirelessly and faithfully to find a sustainable path forward and avoid this outcome…It is with heavy hearts that we share this news, and we express our deep gratitude to all who have supported Spurgeon’s College throughout its history.

    They should turn it into something for White Christians only. But since they hate their own race they’ll sell it to Muslims and it will become a Mosque.
