Spurgeon’s College works closely with a number of Black and Minority Ethnic churches who send their leaders to enter our ministerial programme for the high standards and accountability the College holds its ministers in training to.
Things to consider
- Your sense of calling: It is important that you sense God is calling you to step out and train for some form of ministry leadership.
- Support of the church Leaders: The pastor and leaders of your church need to be able to commend you to the College for ministerial training. They will see the potential in you and set you apart for training and development.
- Placement situation: All ministerial training requires a placement and therefore it is important that your church or another within your denomination are able to offer you a placement where you can use your gifts and grow and develop in the ministry God is calling you to.

Not so sure?
Applying for ministerial training is a big decision. The Director of Practical Training and Admissions and the Director of Ministerial Training and Formation are happy to help you explore your calling. We recommend attending an Open Day or Open Evening or making an appointment to meet with one of the team.
