Seminary graduations

Seven students graduated from London Seminary this June. Having finished lectures just the day before, they ended the year by attending the college’s Annual Thanksgiving service on Saturday 24 June.

At the event, speaker Rev. Dr. Jonny Gibson, Professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary, delivered a message from 1 Timothy 4. He emphasised particularly the need for consistency of lifestyle and doctrine in Christian ministry.

‘It was encouraging to see a broad cross-section of the Seminary’s supporters at the service, including the families and churches of those completing their studies,’ shared Vice-Principal David Green as he reflected on the evening, ‘It was also encouraging to see how God works in the lives of individuals who go into Christian ministry through a great variety of routes. There is no such thing as a typical London Seminary student, any more than there is a type of person who becomes a pastor.’ 

Looking to the future, two of the students are actively seeking pastoral positions, three will serve in pastoral ministry in Chesterfield, Linslade and Yate and another is re-locating during the summer to begin ministry in Exmouth. One of the students was originally from Portugal and will return to serve in ministry there.
