Church Executive LEADERSHIP TRAINING OPTIONS FOR PASTORS

New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary Since 1917, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary has equipped leaders to answer God’s call. NOBTS offers an academic environment that utilizes innovative delivery systems, preparing our students for ministry. Whether God is calling you as a pastor, missionary, counselor, youth minister, educator, worship leader, apologist, or something else entirely, NOBTS has a ministry training option for you. Most of all, this community will equip you to follow God wherever He leads. Our seminary is formed around five core values that define everything we do. DOCTRINAL INTEGRITY Believing that the Bible is the Word of God, we believe it, teach it, proclaim it, and submit our lives to it. Our confessional commitments are outlined in the Articles of Religious Belief and the Baptist Faith and Message 2000. SPIRITUAL VITALITY We are a worshiping community emphasizing both personal spirituality and gathering together as a Seminary family for the praise and adoration of God and instruction in His Word. MISSION FOCUS Our Seminary does not exist merely to get an education or to give an education. We are here to change the world by fulfilling the Great Commission and the Great Commandments through the local church and its ministries. CHARACTERISTIC EXCELLENCE We want everything we do to be characterized by offering the utmost of our abilities and resources as a testimony to the glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. SERVANT LEADERSHIP We follow the model of Jesus to exert leadership through nurturing and encouraging those around us. NOBTS blends scholarship, practicality, accessibility, and a sense of urgency — all of which make ministry training at New Orleans unmatched. As a city of major cultural influence, New Orleans is home to people from across the globe. But only a small minority identify as evangelical Christians. As you train for a lifetime of ministry at NOBTS, we encourage you to get your hands dirty in a city that is in desperate need of the gospel. We challenge our students to reach their full potential, becoming distinguished contributors to their fields.

The main campus in New Orleans is on a beautiful, 70-acre, tree-covered site in suburban New Orleans. Main campus classes are offered in a wide variety of scheduling options throughout the week, as night class and weekend options. Short-term, one-week courses (academic workshops) are offered throughout the year, as well. In addition to our main campus, we make the in-class experience as accessible as possible. With 20+ extension centers in the southeastern United States, NOBTS has got you covered! Students from diverse callings can earn a variety of degrees without relocating their families or leaving their ministries. Courses are offered primarily through traditional classroom settings. Online courses offer you the convenience of preparing for ministry from anywhere in the world. Online students have a variety of opportunities to interact with our professors and fellow students. This includes both synchronous and asynchronous learning, all the way up to the PhD level. Finally, for those with busy schedules, we offer hybrid classes. These meet once a month, combining the convenience of online classes with the personal interaction of the in-class experience. Seminars, workshops and conferences also allow you to earn credit while experiencing life at NOBTS. In everything we do, it’s our goal to equip you to carry out the great commission. churchexecutive.com
