Immanuel
had its beginning in 1951. It is
chartered under the laws of the state of Georgia. This charter grants all the privileges enjoyed by any and all
educational institutions in the state.
The
Seminary began under the auspices of Immanuel Baptist Church in Atlanta,
Georgia, and for the greater part of the life of the school was housed in
buildings furnished by the church. In
1979, Immanuel purchased thirty-two (32) acres of property for our new campus at
the intersection of Highways 54 and 34, just west of Peachtree City, Georgia.
Peachtree City is located twenty-five (25) miles south of Atlanta Georgia
and west of the world’s largest airport.
The new campus is located between two beautiful new planned cities of
Georgia – Peachtree City and Shenandoah/ White Oak.
This area is considered one of the fastest growing areas of Georgia.
Immanuel
has grown from an institution of several students and a few instructors to a
much larger student body and faculty. All
this has happened in only a few years as God has mightily blessed us.
We are looking for great things. The
promise is that He is able to do abundantly and exceedingly ABOVE all that we
ask or think. In the past few
years, it has been our joy to see many graduates go forth into the ministry of
the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ at home and abroad.
We are further happy to say that since the founding of Immanuel, more
than 6000 alumni have trained at the College and Seminary.
Immanuel
exists for the purpose of providing a Christian education for those called of
God to various Christian ministries. It
is dedicated to evangelism and missions with emphasis on reaching this
generation with the message of Christ’s Gospel.
Thus, graduates of Immanuel should be able to:
·
Communicate
clearly the message of Jesus Christ.
·
Be
stable, mature Christian persons shining in a world of darkness.
·
Serve
the Lord as an informed Christian citizen and servant.
·
Be
able to do independent study and enjoy intellectual pursuits.
·
Be
committed and competent for service to mankind consistent with the Great
Commission of the Lord Jesus Christ.
The
operations of the College are housed in a beautiful new 9600 square foot
education and administration building, which housed classrooms, administration
offices, and a Christian bookstore for students and community, the R.G. Lee
Memorial Library, and the J. Harold Smith Auditorium.
Although a 15,000
square fool dorm and classroom facility is under construction, at the present
time, the school does not have housing facilities on campus.
However, we will work with students who seek housing in close proximity
to our campus.
Immanuel
Bible College and Theological Seminary exists for the purpose of developing a
deeper and more thorough knowledge and understanding of the Word of God and of
developing more effective ministerial methods of serving and pleasing God.
Immanuel is an endeavor to promote biblical, theological, and educational
programs in the traditions of the conservative, inerrancy, and premillennial
position. The college and seminary emphasizes the academic and practical skills,
which are essential for the Christian ministry. The curriculum of the college
and seminary is designed to challenge the student to develop a strong doctrinal
and practical Christian life and ministry.
The college and seminary is also designed to acquaint the student with
and prepare the student for the functions and ministry of the local church in
our society.
A CALL TO PREACH IS A CALL TO PREPARE.
Immanuel
seeks to train mature learners to seek God's will for their lives as they
develop their God-given abilities and their potential. We emphasize “how to
learn” as well as “what to learn”. Our educational philosophy is based on
the basic fundamental and conservative Christian approach to education rather
than the humanistic progressive systems of education. We seek to harmonize all
academic disciplines with God's Truth as revealed in His Holy inerrant Word.
If
the student cannot come to college or seminary, IT can come to the student
through Regional Campus classes, the External Degree Program, or through the
Immanuel-Judson Bible Institute.
We
have had many students witness to the fact that their educational experience and
high level of training at Immanuel has been a positive experience in their
ministry.
