however they only tell part of the story of who we are. Our History Springdale
College started life in 1980 as a mission college in Selly Oak, Birmingham,
where prominent missionary Lesslie Newbigin taught in his last years of active
ministry. In March 2015, with a growing missional vision, Springdale College was
renamed ForMission College. ForMission offers degree courses, which have been
accredited by Newman University since 2018, for students from a wide range of
denominations and networks. Vision and Values ForMission’s vision is to
encourage and equip Christians to transform the world through missional presence
and action. The college seeks to be a learning community of reflective practice,
community engagement, leading-edge missional theology, and participation in
God’s mission. Our core values are being relational and missional; committed to
diversity, excellence, and service. Ongoing Training ForMission College also
offers a range of practical courses that can often be delivered in the local
church. Many of our students start out on these courses before moving on to the
BA or MA programme. We are proud that for many of our students, ForMission
College is their first opportunity to study at this level.
