NOBTS reimagines programs for women, introduces ‘Prepare Her’ website
By Marilyn Stewart

NEW ORLEANS — Affirming that women are an asset to the church and influencers in God’s Kingdom work, New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and Leavell College have introduced a series of new academic and campus life initiatives to better serve women.

Tara Dew, adjunct professor of ministry to women and wife of NOBTS and Leavell College President Jamie Dew, pointed to NOBTS’ long legacy of training women for service. NOBTS women graduates serve on the mission field, in Baptist convention offices, writing and speaking for the Gospel, as ministers’ wives and as ministers to women, and in key roles in strategic compassion and evangelistic outreach ministries around the world.

“Women who prepare here are doing amazing things,” Dew said. “If you come here, we are going to train you to glorify God with all your mind and equip you to use your gifts in whatever way God has called you.”

Under the new name “Prepare Her” and dedicated branding, the multi-faceted initiatives serve students, student wives, women staff and faculty members, and wives of staff and faculty members and provide fellowship and support for every woman in her God-given calling. Dew and the other leaders have produced a video explaining their approach to women’s ministry.
