An intensive two-year study confirmed this is the best place for us to train ministers for the 21st century. Our campus is the crown jewel of Southern Baptist seminary campuses and we have a master plan to restore and improve it, making it an even more desirable place to live and learn. The answer led us to recognize seven basic competencies every minister needs, and we redesigned our curriculum to equip students in those seven areas. We finished last year with a record enrollment, and the fall enrollment is already ahead of last year at this time. Campus housing is full, and there is a waiting list.
Classrooms are crowded.
Students are excited about our new curriculum and a change to the semester system. We need your help to raise the curtain on the future. The annual giving campaign is an opportunity for you to help us roll out the future. As one of our most important sources of income, the annual giving campaign gives the alumni and friends of the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary an opportunity to participate in funding scholarships and strategic campus projects. Our theme for this year s fund is Raise the Curtain , and your gifts will help us start now on the future of the seminary.
