London Seminary

Not to be confused with London School of Theology.

London Seminary (formerly London Theological Seminary) is an evangelical vocational training college located in Finchley, London, England.

Overview

London Theological Seminary was founded in 1977 by a group of ministers led by Martyn Lloyd-Jones, who was chairman of the Board of Trustees until his death in 1981.[1] It trains preachers and pastors for the Christian ministry, and since the late 1990s has also provided ongoing study and support for those in ministry, including pastors and elders, women's workers and church planters. Its theological position is Conservative Evangelical in the Reformed tradition, and it only admits men on the seminary's flagship Pastoral Training Course. However, the seminary also runs a separate women's course called Flourish.[2] Students are drawn from both the UK and overseas and from various denominational backgrounds. London Seminary used to be licensed by the Home Office[3] to enrol international students and in past years students have come from Argentina, Armenia, Brazil, Burma, Cameroon, Canada, China, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Honduras, India, Italy, Korea, Madagascar, Malaysia, Nepal, Netherlands, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, South Africa, Spain, Sri Lanka, Switzerland, and the USA. However, this is now no longer the case, and overseas students can typically only study remotely.[4]

Its name was shortened to London Seminary in September 2016.[5]

The college is housed in buildings formerly occupied by the Kensit Memorial Bible College, which are still owned by the Kensit Memorial Trust, part of the Protestant Truth Society.[6]
