We are thrilled to announce a transformative new partnership that connects our church with the esteemed Spurgeon College at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Together, we have established the Contextualized Leadership Development (CLD) program, which offers accredited and dynamic ministry education and training. This collaboration promises to bring Spurgeon College's robust academic offerings into the heart of our congregation, equipping a wide array of individuals — from small group leaders and Sunday School teachers to pastoral residents and missionary team members. It extends to those faithfully serving in various capacities, including bi-vocational pastors who juggle multiple responsibilities.

The CLD courses are meticulously designed to mirror the robust curriculum offered on-campus at Spurgeon College and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. This ensures that every participant in our church receives the same rigorous and spiritually enriching education as their counterparts at the college. Our shared goal is to cultivate a community of growing disciples and skilled church leaders who are ready to meet the challenges of ministry in our modern world. This program underscores our commitment to developing servant leaders who are deeply rooted in Christ and adept in handling the Word of God. We are paving the way for passionate individuals to transform their calling into effective ministry, right within the nurturing environment of Gloucester Point Baptist Church.

We invite you to join us in this exciting journey of faith and learning, where your service and dedication to the Gospel will be met with unparalleled academic resources and spiritual support.
