The faculty of Emmanuel School of Religion is a blending of generations, cultures, and scholastic disciplines, united in a common purpose — to prepare a ministry of excellence for the church. Each faculty member is a person of academic attainment and spiritual commitment. In unique fashion each combines knowledge, experience, and the ability to communicate the exciting concepts of biblical Christianity.

The members of our faculty have earned doctoral degrees from Boston University, Christian Theological Seminary, Eberhard-Karls-Universität Tübingen, Harvard University, Indiana University, Johns Hopkins University, Princeton Theological Seminary, Union Theological Seminary in Virginia, University of Illinois, University of Iowa, University of Nebraska, University of Notre Dame, University of Toronto, Texas Woman’s University, and Yale University. But they are not only competent scholars, they are also respected preachers within the fellowship of the Christian Churches. Several have held long ministries with strong congregations. Some have served notably as teachers and administrators, and still others have ministered as missionaries. Several have written books of distinction, and many regularly publish articles in scholarly journals.

We invite you to visit each faculty member’s web page and learn more about them.
