WhatsApp Community and thanksgiving service for Spurgeon's College alumni and friends 

Alumni and friends of Spurgeon's College have been invited to join a new WhatsApp Community, while a thanksgiving day and service will take place in September 

The community enables participants to stay connected, share news and opportunities, and receive updates about events and initiatives.

It also includes an announcements group and optional interest-based or year-based groups for conversation, networking, and connection. 

In addition, a thanksgiving day and service for Spurgeon's College has been organised for 17 September 2026, which takes place at Trinity Baptist Church, Peall Road, Croydon from 10am - 4pm.  

Principal Emeritus the Revd Dr Nigel Wright has been involved in setting up the community. He said, 'The unexpected closure of Spurgeon's College has left a huge hole in the fabric of the Baptist denomination and the evangelical world. For very many this is very difficult to fill. 

'By creating a WhatsApp online Community and by planning for a Thanksgiving Day and Service for 17 September 2026 we hope to maintain the bonds of friendship, fellowship and support among the very many who have been decisively influenced by the College in whichever way.

'We are pleased to invite alumni and friends of the College to join the Spurgeon’s Alumni WhatsApp Community. We look forward to renewing contact with you.'

In addition to the WhatsApp community and thanksgiving day, Conference Prayers and an In Memoriam service will take place on Zoom on 11 June at 11am for 30-45 minutes. Details will appear on the Spurgeon's Alumni WhatsApp.
