Seminary History

Emmanuel Baptist Theological Seminary (EBTS) was founded by Emmanuel Baptist Church in January, 2000. For several months, the pastor of the church had become convinced that God wanted this seminary to be established. As he shared this with his men and with the people of his church, they, too, became convinced that this was of the Lord. In fact, the psalmist seemed to word their sentiments exactly: "This is the LORD's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes" (Psalm 118:23).

From the very beginning, the hand of God upon EBTS has been evident in so many areas. The acquiring of a fine library, the receipt of necessary funds, the kind attention and acceptance of Baptist pastors, the interest of students — all of these combined to confirm the leadership of the Lord. Emmanuel Baptist Theological Seminary is not the result of human genius or clever leadership. God is doing a work in this institution, whereof we are glad.
