COVID-19 Statement Wednesday, April 01, 2020 The safety and well-being of our students is paramount for the faculty of the Columbus Certificate Center of New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary. The Presidential guidelines for combating the COVID-19 pandemic have been extended through April 30. Likewise, Muscogee County’s declaration has been extended for the same period. Consequently, holding Certificate classes for Term 2, Spring Semester, 2020, has become impractical and unwise. Therefore, Dr. Sanks and I are canceling both classes scheduled to start on April 7, 2020. Classes will resume on Tuesday, August 25, 2020. Until then, stay safe. Dr. Sanks and I are praying for you. Dr. LeBron Matthews Center Director
