Donate to LST

LSTGrad23_3500_0071
Through theological education, LST is committed to raising and equipping the next generation of leaders, missionaries and Christians to be faithful witnesses for Christ in their workplace and in the world.

Your giving will also enable LST to provide ongoing financial support to students who find it difficult to cover their fees and living costs each year. Whether you make a single donation or set up a regular donation, your giving will make a huge difference. Read Diana’s story and how your giving will be used by LST.  Thank you for partnering us in the gospel!

Appeal to support our ex-Spurgeon’s students.

With the sudden closure of Spurgeon’s college after 169 years of faithfully training thousands of men and women for Christian mission and ministry, all of their students have suddenly been left in the difficult position of having to find somewhere else to start or continue their studies.

Regrettably many students who were due to start their studies have paid a deposit which they are unlikely to get back and many continuing students have prepaid fees which likewise are now probably lost. LST has stepped in to work with many of these students to see if it would work for them to continue their studies with us and we are able to accommodate them.

Many will face financial challenges to initially pay their fees and other possible costs like travel, if LST happens to be further way from their homes than Spurgeon’s was.

To assist with this, we have waived our requirement to charge a deposit and will discuss each student’s financial situation and work out a flexible payment plan, but we anticipate many may well require financial assistance, so we would like to launch an appeal to raise some dedicated funds.

LST has been in discussions with the Baptist Union and we are actively encouraging all ex Spurgeon’s students formally training for ministry in the Baptist Church, to transfer their studies to other Baptist training colleges.

If you would be willing to contribute, please use the ‘Make a single donation’ button to contribute any amount you are able. Please use the comments box to indicate the gift is towards an ex-Spurgeon’s student.

Thank you in advance for your generosity, its been a challenging time for them all and for them to know there are some dedicated funds to assist them, I’m sure will be a great reassurance and encouragement.

Leaving a Legacy

A gift in your will is a wonderful way to show your support for LST: you can specify exactly how you would like us to use it, whether in providing scholarships or funds for teaching positions or to support a particular area of LST life like the library or enhancing our facilities. For more information, please visit our legacies page or email us to make a pledge: legacy@lst.ac.uk

 

Payroll giving

If your employer operates a payroll giving scheme this enables you to specify a donation to the charity of your choice direct from your gross salary and as such is the most tax efficient way of giving on a regular basis. Sometimes the employer will even supplement the amount you give. Please contact your employer to discover if this is an option, for further information see: https://www.gov.uk/payroll-giving

Stewardship giving account

If you like to make donations to several charities each year, which vary from year to year and in amount and would like to have a separate account to manage this, then setting up a Stewardship giving account may be a good option for you. You can then use this to make the one off or recurring donations to LST.
