The Perry R. Sanders Center for Ministry Excellence is named in honor of Dr. Perry R. Sanders, pastor emeritus of First Baptist Church, Lafayette, LA. A distinguished alumnus of NOBTS, Dr. Sanders was a Louisiana Baptist pastor for over 60 years, 47 of those years as pastor of FBC Lafayette. From this local church base, a preaching ministry expanded to touch hundreds of thousands worldwide.
The Perry R. Sanders Center for Ministry Excellence is home to the seminary’s Doctor of Ministry and Doctor of Educational Ministry programs. The DMin and DEdMin Degrees from NOBTS can be described as advanced, practical, and transformational for the global ministry. The center promotes the “integrity of heart and skillful of hands” mentioned in Psalm 78:72. The Sanders Center seeks to inspire pastors and church leaders to exhibit the same excellence in ministry that characterized Dr. Sanders’ pastoral tenure at FBC Lafayette.
