Northeastern Baptist College is located in beautiful Bennington, Vermont and offers Graduate and Undergraduate degrees in addition to a Ministry Diploma and a dual-enrollment program for high school students (Early Scholars). Founded in 2013, the college is expanding quickly and has a unique story and purpose.

DSC_0006-2-26A little more than a decade ago, our President, Dr. Mark H. Ballard, pursued God’s call to establish a college in the Northeast to train Christian students to impact the region. Trusting in God’s faithfulness, he and his family followed God’s leading and stepped out in faith. Today, Northeastern Baptist College is training students from all over the world and they are making a difference!


OUR LEADERSHIP   |   NEBC HISTORY   |   FACULTY & STAFF


DSC_0011-1The main campus is located on the 3rd and 4th floor of a shared building in Bennington, Vermont, with views of the Green Mountains and the historic Bennington Monument from its windows. A few minutes away, NEBC’s Hogue Library houses the Hebrews Cafe and is the largest Christian library in the state of Vermont. Jehovah Jireh Hall, NEBC’s student housing, is located a block from the Library.

IMG_4285NEBC is located in the very heart of the Northeastern United States. When you locate the town of Bennington on a map, you can see that it is centrally located between Maine and Pennsylvania, New York and Rhode Island. Twenty percent of the American population lives in the Northeast, within a 6 hour reach North, South, East, and West of NEBC. It is to these people who NEBC strives to reach with the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.


BENNINGTON  |  WHY NEBC


Diploma1The way NEBC reaches the Northeast is by training and preparing Christian men and women as they follow God’s call to invest their lives in this area. Northeastern Baptist College’s mission is to make an impact on New England, the United States, and the world by training students to have the mind of a scholar, the heart of a shepherd, and the perseverance of a soldier through the provision of an accredited college education with a biblical foundation and a unique blend of academic excellence and practical mentoring.


MISSION, VISION, & PURPOSE  |  ACADEMICS


DSC_0102-2Our students have all the perks of a small Christian College experience: rigorous learning and teaching from a Biblical worldview, fantastic student to professor ratios, a family atmosphere, staff and faculty that genuinely want each and every student to succeed, dedication to spiritual growth, and more. One of the differences at NEBC, though, is that students don’t have to wait to finish their education before they start following God’s call on their lives. Every student at NEBC begins putting their learning into practice during their first semester. Every student is involved in a local ministry and works under a godly leader in their field, whether it is church planting, Christian counseling, business, music ministry, etc.

Though all the faculty and staff at NEBC are always ready to help, every NEBC student has a faculty member as a mentor who is specifically watching out for them, encouraging their spiritual and academic growth, and ready to offer advice whenever needed.

ChristianSmilingCentral to Northeastern’s purpose is a commitment to making college affordable and to sending out graduates who are free from educational debt. NEBC offers an amazing Church & Pastor Scholarship to every applying student, a scholarship that makes a college education at NEBC one of the most affordable in the country. Further, NEBC offers a Work Study program so that students can work as payment for their tuition. Through these aids and options, NEBC makes it possible for anyone seeking a college education to respond to God’s call on their life and to pursue their interest in deeper biblical and theological knowledge–no matter their financial situation.
