Contextualized Leadership Development (CLD)
Accredited Bible College Classes
Through Contextualized Leadership Development (CLD), Spurgeon College at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary partners with the Heartland Church Network to deliver accredited, accessible, and flexible ministry training to unique or underserved environments. Courses in the CLD program are equivalent to college courses offered at Spurgeon College, the undergraduate division of Midwestern. CLD courses are built to serve those who serve in a variety of roles: small group leaders, Sunday School teachers, ministry staff, pastoral residents, missionary team members, bi-vocational pastors, and more. In short, this program is meant for growing disciples and developing church leaders.
The CLD Program offers a pathway to tuition-free undergraduate credit (1) applicable to a certificate, diploma, or degree (2) for qualified students.

Student Qualifications
Qualified CLD students must have completed a high school diploma or equivalent, be 18 years of age or older, and successfully complete the CLD admissions and enrollment process. CLD students are designated as “non-degree seeking” regardless of their intention to complete a certificate or diploma or to later apply CLD credit to a degree program (unless they are concurrently enrolled in a degree program at Spurgeon College).
