For over 250 years, Regent's has been preparing people for ministry in one way or another! At the heart of the Colleges’ long history has been its desire to help prepare and develop men and women for a variety of roles and vocations in the Church. This continues to be a core part of the work of the College and we do this in a number of ways.

If you are exploring a call to be a Baptist Minister, you’ve come to the right place: Regent’s Park College is a member of the Baptist Union of Great Britain and is an exciting and challenging place to prepare for ministry.

If you are interested in studying theology in a way that helps you make connections with your work, your faith, or your church involvement: the College offers the BTh suite of courses, which can be studied full-time or part-time, carefully designed to enable students to bring together theology and their professional or pastoral practice.

If you are already exercising ministry in a local church or working in a different context and would value the opportunity to develop your thinking and understanding further: we offer various opportunities to enable this to happen!

Joint Statement from Baptist College Principals in England and Wales Upon the Closure of Spurgeon’s College

We want to express together our deep sorrow at the sudden closure of Spurgeon’s College and assure students and staff of our daily thoughts and prayers. Spurgeon’s has provided training and formation in Baptist life and beyond since 1856. Baptists Together and the Christian world will be the poorer for the passing of a great institution. We each commit ourselves to continue to provide the best possible formation for ministry and mission at this crucial moment in the life of our Union and our nation. We also want to express a shared commitment to cooperate together in the most appropriate ways towards that end.
