The Baptist College of Ministry President's Fellowship has been founded to recruit the financial and prayer support of fellow brothers and sisters in Christ for the purpose of partnering with BCM in "Advancing the Cause."

The President’s Fellowship is a special circle of friends who share a common vision and passion for advancing the Cause through the equipping of dedicated young men and women to serve the Lord Jesus Christ faithfully and effectively as leaders in the local church and around the world. They partner with Baptist College of Ministry in this great mission through their financial and prayer support.

A Word from the President


There is no greater privilege than to train dedicated young men and women to serve the Lord around the world. What a joy it is for us to see our graduates walking by faith and ministering with God's blessing in this difficult day. It has also been encouraging and stirring to see the many folks who have come alongside over the years to partner with the college through their financial gifts and prayer. The President's Fellowship has been created to formally join together all of these sacrificial supporters with many others of like mind and heart. It is vital that a new generation of courageous men and women who love the Lord with all their heart be raised up to meet the need of the hour. It would be my honor to have you join with me in this world-changing cause!

Wayne Van Gelderen

President, Baptist College of Ministry

The Young Leaders Level is only for BCM Graduates, age 35 and younger. Young Leaders may also qualify for the benefits of the Platinum, Gold, or Silver level if their contributions meet the respective giving levels.

Membership in the President’s Fellowship is annually based, and all benefits only apply for the current year of membership. Financial contributions can be made by a married couple, by an individual, or by a church (in which case the pastor acts as the representative while the church is recognized as the financial contributor).
Contributions are tax deductible. If a Platinum or Gold level member participates in the trip or retreat benefit during the year of their membership, the full amount of their contribution will benefit Baptist College of Ministry, but their charitable contribution will be reduced by the value of the trip of retreat.
