Seminar Schedule
The
mission of the Emmanuel Institutes is to advance the understanding,
practice, and development of spiritual leadership for the benefit of
mission endeavors,
new churches, and
ministers of the Gospel in all settings. The three Institutes
are extensions of the high quality academic programs of Emmanuel.
The Institutes, established in 2005, are devoted to church
leadership effectiveness, as well as equipping and supporting
ministry leaders around the globe.
Embedded in a highly esteemed
theological school, the contributions of the Institutes are grounded
in biblical scholarship. Wary of quick fixes, the Institutes want to
make substantial and sustained contributions to Christian leadership
and church health. The Institutes will strive to be practical and
action-oriented, helping leaders and their organizations more
effectively fulfill vision. The over-riding desire is to transform
learning and ideas into life-changing action. Emmanuel encourages
churches to
Partner with the Institutes to receive announcements,
discounts, counsel and other benefits.
Increasingly, a
portfolio of opportunities for learning, skill enhancement,
self-development, current resource orientation, and personnel and
church assessment will be available. A special passion for renewing
the individual leader as well as his or her marriage, family, and
ministerial team will be evident in the priorities of the
Institutes. Resources and services will become available over time
and many will be deliverable online.
Although most events held on campus are very well attended by
ministers and members of regional churches as well as Emmanuel
students, virtually all Institutes events held at the Thompson
Community Center are professionally recorded with digital
videography and edited into DVD format.
Click here to see a list of events presently
available on DVD as well as to review future events scheduled to
be produced as such.
In addition, an
electronic file of all available handout materials from each event
is available. Contact the Institutes
office to inquire about purchasing such resources. DVDs are
generally available within 30 days of the completion of a seminar. Timely
future lectureships, seminars,
retreats, workshops, and conferences will be offered annually on the
Emmanuel campus. The Fred and Dorothy Thompson Community Center
will provide a lovely and functional
context for events and will house the Emmanuel Institutes and
director, John Wasem. The
B. D. Phillips Memorial Building is the centerpiece of the 23-acre
campus and houses the academic activities of Emmanuel. The
extraordinary Emmanuel facilities, including the 151,000-item library,
are at the disposal of guests of the Institutes. The Institutes look forward to
hosting events at other strategic locations nationally and at
mission spots globally. Eventually, continuing education and other
special presentations will be available on the web.
