SEMINARY EXTENSION CLASSES

Dear Pastors.

Gary Mitchell has reminded me that you are some of the busiest pastors in Louisiana. The stresses of holding a full time job and pastoring a church must be consuming. The thought of taking some time away to get better equipped to be a pastor may seem impossible. But, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary has a Certificate Program for church leaders who are interested in Basic Ministry Education that is delivered to you in a convenient way so that you can be better equipped to serve Jesus in the Kingdom.

Here are the facts:

• 1 hour Certificate Credits are from New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary
  • (and the credit hours can be applied to a Bachelors Degree in the future)
• Each Credit Hour costs $135 (+ a one time $25 registration fee)
• The classes can be offered on weekends to fit your busy schedule
• We need to register 6-10 students to "make" a class
• We can meet in a convenient location in Louisiana.

We are eager to offer the Church Planting Certificate initially as these classes are the most Basic Classes for the church. (see link). These 8 classes can assist you in being a better preacher, teacher, leader and Bible Scholar.

If you are interested in pursuing this form of Education, please respond with your name and email address so that NOBTS can know the interest and get final approval through the Board.

Dr. jeffrey Cook will be attending the Prayer Breakfast of the Bivocational Pastors @ the Louisiana Baptist Convention to answer any questions and discover the interests and needs. He can be contacted at: drjlcook@cox.net, or cell 337-288-4740.

Please utilize this link to observe the Certificate Classes offered @ SW Center, Lafayette.

Please utilize this link to view pg. 29 of the catalog showing the certificate programs offered.
