The Nehemiah Project

The Nehemiah Project is a cooperative strategy that links Southern Baptist churches, associations, state and Canadian conventions, seminaries, colleges, and the North American Mission Board to intentionally prepare church planters to plant healthy, reproducing churches.

As a student at Southern Seminary or Boyce College, you have a unique opportunity made available to you during your studies - an opportunity to get hands-on training in church planting. This opportunity includes at least:

• Serving as an appointed church planter with the North American Mission Board while you complete your degree
• Receiving a field based education to complement your classroom based education
• Receiving academic credit for your church planting work
• Working with other church planters who will serve as coaches and mentors
• Impacting the lostness in North America with the gospel
• Working on the fringes of Kingdom expansion as you plant multiplying churches
• Networking with other local churches, associations, state and Canadian conventions, and the North American Mission Board for ongoing training and resources in missions

You can help make a significant difference as a missionary! If you believe that God is leading you in this direction, please contact us. Let’s talk!
