Charles Simeon Trust

When it was founded in 2001, the Charles Simeon Trust's vision was "to promote the growth of the gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world by training up the next generation of Biblical expositors." This vision remains the single conviction holding all of the work of the Charles Simeon Trust today. One of our first endeavors was to develop Workshops on Biblical Exposition. These training events, lasting two or three days, are now held in more than 50 locations worldwide. The workshops help pastors and Bible teachers to learn methods of expositional preaching, be encouraged through sitting under God's Word, and gather in small groups with the aim of sharpening each other’s teaching. Our other foundational initiative was the Simeon Model—a residential training scheme that combines the best of seminary education with a real church environment and the guidance of established, working pastors. But growing gospel churches around the world and broadening our reach right here in the U.S. requires a different kind of effort, an exponential effort. This work has expanded to include an online training platform called the Simeon Course on Biblical Exposition.We are also working toward establishing a center for full-time residential training. We do everything we can to stay narrowly focused on our one goal: "to promote the Gospel of Jesus Christ throughout the world by training the next generation of Bible expositors." The gospel opportunities before us are immense.
