Quotes from SCM Alumni

"From relational approaches by faculty members to practical ministry opportunities and training, Emmanuel's School of Christian Ministries has deeply impacted my life and ministry. In fact, it was an SCM faculty member who directed me towards my current ministry position 4 years ago. I am so thankful for the years of equipping in the classroom and training with partnering ministries that have prepared me to pursue God's call on my life with excellence."

"A degree from Emmanuel's SCM doesn't just represent accumulated knowledge about God and His revelation; it signifies a firm grasp on loving people, living in community, and passionately pursuing a vibrant relationship with Jesus Christ.

At Emmanuel I learned that ministry is not about building my church or even my denomination, it's about building THE CHURCH.

The professors in the SCM of Emmanuel exude a level of integrity and Christ-likeness that is unsurpassed in the world of higher education.

Every teacher I ever had at Emmanuel had not only an open door, but an open heart policy."

"The Emmanuel College School of Christian Ministries thrives in equipping students for real world ministry and advanced academic success. As an Associate Pastor, I find the experiences offered to me during undergrad have served me well in the realm of in-the-trenches pastoral ministry. Moreover, I have been able to excel as a student at Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary--Charlotte in the Masters of Divinity program because of the academic excellence of the SCM at Emmanuel College. The program prides itself in academic theory and applied theology, as well it should. I am grateful for the quality education I received every time I parse a Greek verb."

"Emmanuel College was and is a tremendous blessing to me, my family and my ministry. I had already served as a youth minister for nearly 4 years when I came to EC. The Lord's call to youth ministry was clear to me. However, I knew I needed more training to better equip me for the work of ministry. The number one highlight in the SCM is the professors. Every one of them has an incredible love for Christ and people. The knowledge that they share inside and out of the class room in the areas of faith, life, scripture, theology and practical ministry is invaluable. There is not a week that goes by that I do not draw from this knowledge in my life and ministry."
