As London Seminary’s 50th anniversary approaches, it looks to the future with an ambitious aim.
The college was founded as London Theological Seminary in 1977 to train preachers and pastors, with Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones as its first chairman. From the start, the focus was on pastoral training. The requirement for entry was a genuine call to ministry, regardless of any student’s educational background, and while some went on to further study, the aim was to provide a comprehensive foundation for ministry.
Over the decades, well-known pastors and theologians have delivered special lectures. In recent years, these include Sinclair Ferguson, Joel Beeke, Rico Tice, Christopher Ash and Peter J. Williams. There are now over 500 alumni across the UK and around the world.
