Spiritual Life
Spiritual Life at Emmanuel College hopes to live up to the meaning of our name: God with us. We seek to implement events, settings, relationships and an environment that will encourage students to be a community of authentic followers of Christ. We hope the spiritual climate is vibrant and all-inclusive, helping students build biblical views of God, self and others with the overall aim of contributing to their spiritual formation. Through small groups, corporate gatherings like Convocation and Chapel, classroom learning, spiritual disciplines and mentoring, those goals can be accomplished.

The residence hall is composed of three floors for residents and is sectioned into four “halls,” each of which is overseen by a Resident Assistant.
Lobby areas are located throughout the building. The main and largest lobby sits at ground level and serves as the main entrance to Jackson Hall. Another smaller lobby, lovingly nicknamed “The Max,” has full kitchen access and sits a floor below the main lobby.
