Who We Are as NOBM

New Orleans Baptist Ministries (NOBM) is a compassion-driven nonprofit working alongside the New Orleans Baptist Association (NOBA) to meet both the spiritual and physical needs of our communities. We serve six parishes—Orleans, Jefferson, St. Bernard, Plaquemines, St. Charles, and St. John the Baptist—through a network of partnerships, programs, and compassion initiatives.
Key Partnerships
- North American Mission Board (NAMB): National support for evangelism, church planting, and compassion ministry

Our Legacy and Impact
NOBM was founded in 2003 to steward four historic Baptist mission centers. In 2011, it was entrusted to NOBA with the charge of launching a compassion movement centered on the creation of Baptist Community Health Services (BCHS), a Federally Qualified Health Center. Today BCHS operates six locations across three parishes, serving over 20,000 patients with more than 160,000 visits over the past decade.
