The Spurgeon Library exists—in attitude and architecture—to promote Jesus Christ by remembering the life and legacy of Charles Spurgeon. In addition to preserving the collection for posterity and providing a study space for scholars and students, the library will allow Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary to equip pastors, teachers, and students to fulfill God’s calling on their lives.
The Spurgeon Center offers a limited number of scholarships to exceptional seminary students called to full-time vocational ministry. Recipients of the scholarship will work closely with the Curator of the Spurgeon Library and receive additional writing, publishing, and ministry opportunities.
