Tom Pender
Bristol Baptist College

I have had a passion for a long time to work for the church but was never sure how it would happen. Through a friend, I learned about Spurgeon's Equipped to Minister course and through that learned about the Ministerial training course in Theology. It was clear that for all the times God had told me to wait, He was now saying that this was what I had waited for. My hope is to pastor my own church and spread the gospel and see the community transformed and people grow into who God has made them to be. Due to the closure of Spurgeon's College, I am only pursuing the final year of ministerial formation with Bristol Baptist College and not continuing with the degree. I have met the BU minimum for the diploma and am focusing this year on my placement and on the future calling for my wife and me.
