"While at Emmaus, I was trained to think critically about life, faith, and God's Word. I've never regretted spending years of my life in such a nurturing environment both academically and spiritually. As the years go by I am only more thankful for all that I learned; I can't imagine any college could have done a better job of preparing me to be a teacher and a follower of Christ."

"My Emmaus education gave me a firm foundation in God’s Word as well as an understanding of history. It has been through my biblical lens, framed through my time at Emmaus, that I engage my students in instruction, correction, reinforcement, etc. And it is because of the tutelage of Emmaus professors, like the late Dr. Patten, that I am able to give my students a lens to view history and seek to impact my students and the world for Christ."

“Emmaus is exactly what I wanted in a school. We’ve got a focused Bible major for everyone, and a dedicated Computer Science major, as well, with great professors. Those two majors are rarely seen together, and even more rarely are they both done well, which is exactly why I would recommend Emmaus to anyone and everyone!”

Thank you for considering Emmaus Bible College, and taking the time to look at our programs of study. Students have been coming to Emmaus for over 70 years because they want to be transformed by the study of God’s Word, to have their character shaped by Christ, and to prepare for a life of service. We would love to have you join us for the next step in your education!
