A Message From Dr. Neal Weaver

Our Vision is to honor the Lord by preparing ministers, missionaries, Christian educators and Christian lay people to effectively reach and impact the world for the cause of Christ.

Louisiana Baptist University was founded in 1973. As a pioneer in distance education LBU has had over 30 years to develop a delivery system that is extremely student friendly and effective. Every course is designed to meet or exceed national norms. Many of the textbooks are the same ones used by Louisiana State University and other major universities. We also offer several seminars and workshops each year so that students can interact with faculty and compliment their self study.

To better meet the academic and professional development needs of the student, LBU continually seeks to improve the quality of the institution. For this reason, LBU is semi-annually examined by an independent review committee comprised of ministers and educators. LBU is one of five approved colleges and universities of the Baptist Bible Fellowship International of Springfield, Missouri. The BBFI is a fellowship with over 4,000 churches in the United States and several foreign countries.

We do not strive to pattern our institution after the humanistic, shifting systems of secular education. It is the goal of LBU/LBTS that in everything we do we exalt the Name of Jesus Christ. Virtually all of our students are in some way involved in the advancement of Christ’s Kingdom. They serve around the world as ministers, educators, counselors or Christian leaders.

Thank you for considering LBU. If we can be of further service to you please feel free to call me or any of our staff.
