"So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver."
(II Cor 9:7 NKJV)

  Imagine being in the most densely populated area of the United States, in the midst of the history of the Christian faith and its greatest periods of revivals in this land and getting excellent academic training and practical training for ministry both there and in strategic spots around the world. Sound too good to be true? It is absolutely true! Northeastern Baptist College in Bennington, VT is that place. Add to that a world-class faculty and experienced leaders in every area of ministry and you find yourself in one of the greatest educational opportunities in this nation! No wonder their vision statement is to develop Christian leaders with the mind of a scholar, the heart of a shepherd and the perseverance of a soldier!

  Northeastern Baptist College, located just minutes away from the sight of the famous Haystack Prayer Meeting…is the vision of educators, pastors, and supporters who believe that young people of faith deserve an institution of upper level instruction with standards that stretch the mind, the body, and the heart alike...NEBC will quickly gain the respect even of the secular community. Students… (will) bring a message of hope and peace everywhere they serve. Professors will be men and women of stature and accomplishment who…will have time to walk with students in constructive and guided dialogue. Wish that I had several high school young people still at home. I would send them to NEBC.

  …Combining academic excellence with practical mentoring and internships, graduates will be thoroughly prepared for Christian service. This curriculum includes a unique emphasis on both Church Planting and Entrepreneurial Leadership. The Northeast is home to 20% of the US population. What a great opportunity this new college will have to impact a crucial part of our nation! God once brought great revival to our nation, and it began in New England. May God be pleased to do it again through the ministry of Northeastern Baptist College.

  In a day and time that our values and morals are being attacked on a daily basis… In a day and time where our secular schools and education system is missing the mark throughout this nation. It is good to know that there is yet hope for our youth at Northeastern Baptist College! With NEBC's strong emphasis on academic excellence and practical mentoring through Shepherd groups, internships, and practical involvement in their field of study…this school is certainly determined to make a difference in the life of their students and therefore in the future of our great country. I highly recommend that you prayerfully consider Northeastern Baptist College. I assure you that you will not be disappointed!

  …I am excited that Northeastern Baptist College will be offering a BA in Biblical Studies with an emphasis in Church Planting & Entrepreneurial Leadership. This course of study will uniquely prepare students to start churches while supporting their families through entrepreneurial activities that enhance ministry instead of distracting from it. This will allow Northeastern to fill in one of the "missing pieces" that is vitally needed for a revival to sweep across the Northeast once again.

  Northeastern Baptist College will provide a desperately needed avenue through which we can develop the new generation of leaders we need for New England. By the time a young leader graduates from NEBC, they will have developed practical, field tested ministry skills under the supervision of a trained mentor. They will also have had the opportunity to learn entrepreneurial skills which will allow them to serve bi-vocationally in a new church plant or on a church staff. The excellent education they will receive will not only prepare them well for life, but will prepare them to be used as God's instruments for kingdom expansion here in New England. I can hardly wait to see what God will do…

  I was excited when I heard of the founding of Northeatern Baptist College.  New England was a stronghold of Christianity in the early days of our country.  Some of the great movements of God occurred in New England as well.  Since 20% of the population resides in this area there is a great need for such a school.  NEBC has a great administration and faculty who are committed to training pastors and church leaders for New England and for the world.  They have put together a great curriculum and a great plan to make NEBC a mighty influence in our country.

  As a church planting pastor whose family is native to this region, and who grew up and went to college and seminary here, I can say that one of our greatest needs is indigenous workers, trained and equipped right here in the Northeast for ministry in the Northeast. That is what the team at Northeastern Baptist College aim to provide. . . workers for the harvest; indigenous, trained, equipped, impassioned, workers for the harvest with deep roots in this region. NEBC will provide a sound, biblically-based education at an affordable price for Northeasterners in the Northeast. It is an answer to prayer, an amazing aspiration and evidence that God is at work in this place.

  Anyone who has attended a college will validate the fact a good portion of the education one receives is outside of the classroom. NEBC will not be any different other than the fact a student's life on campus will be enriched beyond measure by the presence, support and blessings of like minded Christians all pointed in the same direction to serve Christ. Indeed NEBC's motto of "The Mind of a Scholar, The Heart of a Shepherd and The Perseverance of a Soldier" may very well spring from the infusion of a student's experiences with fellow believers, in settings that reinforce their calling is correct and they are where the LORD wants them to be.

  … Students will also enjoy the benefits of low student-to-faculty ratios that integrate a personal dimension of learning that is further complimented by Shepherd Groups which assure student assimilation through practical experience and involvement in their personal and spiritual life. A differentiating factor on campus pertains to the mentoring and coaching program that is critical to the advanced development of each student. This provides opportunities for accountability and responsibility built upon strong relationships. These building blocks will provide every full time student with practical experiences in respect to their field of study.
