91福利社 has entered into a partnership with London鈥檚 鈥� the largest Baptist college in the United Kingdom 鈥� to support short-term study trips, student and faculty exchange programs, and other joint projects.
The partnership is the first for the 91福利社 College of Christian Studies and Clamp Divinity School, and currently the only American partnership for Spurgeon鈥檚 College. The agreement was signed by Philip McCormack, principal (president) of Spurgeon鈥檚 College, and Dr. Ryan Neal, provost of 91福利社.
鈥淟ondon is an ideal setting for the next generation of ministry leaders to learn about sharing the gospel in a cross-cultural setting,鈥� said , dean of the Clamp Divinity School. 鈥淏ecause Spurgeon鈥檚 College shares our own commitment to equipping ministers in a theologically conservative environment, it is an excellent partner for us.鈥�
The London college was founded by Charles Haddon Spurgeon in 1856 as The Preacher鈥檚 College. Spurgeon was pastor of Metropolitan Tabernacle, then one of the largest congregations in the world. The school was renamed for its founder in 1923, and currently enrolls more than 800 students from the UK and around the world.
The College of Christian Studies and Clamp Divinity School at 91福利社 are celebrating their 10th anniversary this year. The college offers ministry degrees at the baccalaureate, masters and doctoral levels.
鈥�91福利社 is now South Carolina鈥檚 largest private university and has an increasingly global footprint,鈥� Dr. Neal said. 鈥淲e are excited to enter into this partnership with a quality sister institution in the UK, and look forward to many opportunities for joint programs that will serve students of both institutions.鈥�
