Bristol Baptist College

We are so blessed to have Bristol Baptist College located in the heart of our region here in the West of England.

The College’s purpose is to share in the mission of God in the world through the formation of competent, passionate, spirit-filled and evangelical people for different forms of Christian ministry, and we’re delighted that every year a number of lay people, ministers in training and those looking to develop particular areas of study from churches in Webnet choose to do so at Bristol Baptist College.

Equipping Missional Disciples (EMD)

One of the things we’re passionate about is helping to equip people to join in with God’s mission to make disciples. We recognise that God calls everyone, not just those in paid ministry roles and so we want to help believers to develop their skills, understanding and courage to be those disciples who go on making disciples for Jesus.

EMD is a learning community designed for church leaders, those testing a call to pastoral ministry, anyone wanting to dip their toes into academic theology or simply wanting to have their thinking expanded. It’s taught at Access level, 8 Saturdays a year. Students can audit (sit in) or do assignments for credit.

If you would like to know more about EMD at Bristol Baptist College or you would like to encourage someone in your church family to explore this, you can find out more on the college website here. You’re also welcome to contact our Regional Minister Lindsay Caplen, who is also the coordinator of community learnig there,  for a conversation.

Please see the dates of the course below. All sessions are run in person at Bristol Baptist College, The Promenade, BS8 3NJ. The cost is £240 per year for students who wish to join and write essays, and £120 for Saturday students (visitors). More information is available on the attached flyer. For bookings, please contact Pavla: community.learning@bristol-baptist.ac.uk

It’s not too late to join this exciting course which is happening in September. It’s a year long course, aimed at Christians who want to go deeper in their relationship and discipleship with God, and particularly if they are considering their call to ministry. It can work well alongside those working for the church in various positions, too.
