NOBTS is strategically positioned in New Orleans by the Southern Baptist Convention.

There is no better place to learn how to share the Gospel and make disciples of all nations than in New Orleans, one of the most eclectic cities in the United States. Foundation members understand the importance of sustaining the Seminary’s work in New Orleans. They give generously to their endowment through their annual commitment of $5,000 to keep the technology, buildings, and grounds in the best condition possible.
