Overview

Why Project Jerusalem?
An estimated 50,000,000 people live within a 3-hour commute of Baptist Bible Seminary, and 90,000,000 people live within a 5-hour radius of Clarks Summit. Yet the Northeast, with its massive population, is one of the least evangelized areas of the country. BBS is looking to change that statistic, targeting needy urban, ethnic, and rural communities for new church plants.

Project Jerusalem’s innovative strategy partners BBS’ M.Div. students with independent churches, state associations, and mission agencies to intentionally train church planters by planting healthy churches in the Northeastern United States. Students receive appropriate assessment, training, mentoring, deployment, and support through an internship that gives the student abundant opportunity to succeed in planting a dynamic church.

Through Project Jerusalem, the M.Div. in Church Planting concentration not only provides the education essential for ministry but the experience of actually planting a church as an integral part of obtaining the degree.

Do you have the desire to share your faith and see Bible-believing churches planted and spawning new churches that will reach out to a lost world? If you answered “yes” then our Church Planting concentration and Project Jerusalem may be the place for you!
