Following the relocation of its main campus to Southern California, Golden Gate Baptist Theological Seminary will retain a presence in the San Francisco Bay area by opening a new campus in Fremont, Calif., on land donated by a local congregation that is moving to a house church ministry model.
The new campus will be situated just north of San Jose about 50 miles southeast of the present Mill Valley campus.
Mission Way Baptist Church, Fremont, announced that it will donate to the seminary land valued at $2.9 million. The seminary plans to replace the existing church facilities with academic buildings and has already begun the process of obtaining construction permits.
“We are committed to training students in the American West and the Bay Area,” Golden Gate President Jeff Iorg said. “We have been given a generous gift of land in a prime location.” (BP)
