Bristol Baptist College

This summer marks the end of Sam King's time with us in the role of Chaplain. We were delighted to celebrate Sam on the last day of term, as he regaled us with stories one final time. The students wrote an ode to Sam, tested their knowledge with a quiz, and presented him with gifts including the T-shirt in the final page (somebody call security!).

Thank you, Sam, for all the time and effort you have poured into College life. Thank you, Tyndale Baptist Church, for allowing us this precious time with Sam. Sam remains Minister at Tyndale Baptist Church and looks forward to what the future will look like there.

Join us for the final Open Day of this academic year: Wed 3 June 11am - 3pm in Bristol. You will have the opportunity to speak with tutors, tour the building, and hear more about the courses and the College. You are welcome whether you're interested in studying or training at Bristol, Exeter or London. We'd love to meet you!

Book to attend this lecture with Ashley Hibbard, Centre for the Study of Bible and Violence Director of Operations, on 9 May at Tyndale Baptist Church. Ashley lives in Canada so don’t miss out while she’s here.

“Many Christians struggle to know how to navigate the goodness of God in Old Testament texts. Biblical law can sometimes seem to be more of a cause of violence than a part of its solution. Join us for a public lecture and Q&A with Dr. Ashley Hibbard as she shows us the purposes of Leviticus, and discusses the interpretive skills needed to appreciate how this book's focus on holiness, ritual, and order point us toward a God who transforms his people to be agents of his peace and justice in the world.”

Today was our last EMD Course this academic year! And it was our own helping us rediscover what it means to live as the people of God, rooted in Jesus, shaped by the Spirit, and sent into everyday life. We will miss everyone but see you all in September🙌☀

It was a joy to recently celebrate the academic achievements of our students, including Liz Squires, Alex Brown, and Chris Norden. What colour robes did you wear for your celebration or graduation?
