Live Your Life For the Kingdom

Our culture tells you to live for yourself. We want you to spend your life spreading God’s glory across the earth, wherever you’re called to be. Prepare at Spurgeon College to live a life for the Kingdom.

OUR HISTORY

Spurgeon College is located in Kansas City, Missouri, on the campus of Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Beginning undergraduate classes in 2005, we were formally established with the Spurgeon College name in 2018. Our name comes from the most influential Baptist preacher in Christian history, Charles Haddon Spurgeon, whose personal library is housed on our campus.

WHY SPURGEON?

At Spurgeon College, we’re committed to investing deeply in who you are and who God has called you to be. As a student at Spurgeon, you’ll experience firsthand an intentional and wholistic approach to student care, from the classroom to the dorm room.

FOCUSED on YOUR SOUL ANCHORED in the LOCAL CHURCH

We firmly believe that the local church is at the heart of God’s plan for His people. That’s why we seek to anchor your discipleship in the local church rather than only on campus.

ROOTED in SCRIPTURE

Our commitment to Scripture is at the center of who we are at Spurgeon College. From the classroom to the athletic field, your experience at Spurgeon will always be rooted in Scripture and how Scripture transforms our spiritual and academic growth. Every degree at Spurgeon includes a 30-hour biblical core designed to help you know and love the Lord and His Church more.

FORMED in COMMUNITY

We believe formation happens best in community. Our Spurgeon College Cohorts are designed to strengthen students’ on-campus experience through enhanced discipleship, focused study, and intentional community. Each cohort gathers regularly for fellowship, discussion related to their field, and to grow in their respective disciplines. 1 2 3 4

WHAT DO SAY SPURGEON

In my studies at Spurgeon College, I have come to a greater understanding of how the gospel matters for every part of my life, not just my work in ministry.

The genuine care I have felt from my professors is just as valuable as the wealth of information I have received from them as it models Christ for me.
