The college is changing name, with immediate effect, to King’s Evangelical Divinity School. This change is now reflected on our websites and logo.

This is for two reasons. First, our scholarly programmes and new postgraduate courses require it. The phrase “Bible College” often refers to practical, unaccredited institutions and is misleading to many enquirers seeking accredited biblical studies. Changing to Midlands Bible College and Divinity School partially resolved the issue, but this was a transitional measure ensuring some continuity with the new brand.

Second, the college is no longer based in the Midlands and enquirers often ask why we retain a geographical name. Moreover, Lampeter has offered the college office space within the University campus itself, which provides us with exciting opportunities for development and access to resources while allowing us to retain our independence. Furthermore, our innovative e-learning has been recognised and acknowledged by the University and several UK theological colleges which have approached us about distance learning consultancy.

The new name was reached on the basis of considerable prayer and consultations. The name King’s (in the singular, with an apostrophe), refers to the one true King, while the new name also firmly nails the college’s Evangelical credentials to the mast.

Because of the relocation, our new registered office address is as follows:

King’s Evangelical Divinity School
Theology and Religious Studies
University of Wales
Lampeter
Ceredigion SA48 7ED
(United Kingdom)

Don’t worry if you have items in the post to the old address, as we have mail forwarding. But send all future mail to the above name and address.

In time a new domain (web address) will be launched, but for the time being you can continue to access King’s using the old domain – www.midbible.ac.uk. In the first half of 2009 we will also be launching a fresh new look for the website, the design of which is already in progress.
