John Witherspoon College

For the last ten years, John Witherspoon College has been blessed to be a part of God’s work in developing His kingdom by providing exceptional, Christ-centered education that not only promoted learning, but also produced leaders. Our faculty, staff, and alumni are more than a school community – we are a family.

Sadly, a lack of financial support and enrollment has led the board of trustees to recognize that while John Witherspoon College served a vital role, God has closed the door on its continued operations. The college officially dissolved on July 31, 2024.

While we are saddened by this, we also celebrate. While we no longer abide in the same location, as a family we are forever bound to one another with memories of community and conversation, work and worship. The closing of the college, like the scattering of the church, is an opportunity for our work to spread further and reach those outside of our immediate area, and we are confident that the legacy of John Witherspoon College will continue to impact this world and God’s Kingdom for His Glory.

It has been a blessing, and we are eternally grateful to have served in this way.

The arrival of June brings flowers (and ferns) to the Black Hills.
