Adult Theological Education at Emmanuel Lutheran Church of Naples

Creating a Brighter Future for Individuals, Families & Communities

EMMANUEL ACADEMIES 

Emmanuel Academies was formed with the goal of implementing a seminary program to prepare Leaders for Service within their Communities and to Build Congregations, Ministries and Careers emphasizing cultural and demographic diversity, with a focus on Southern US and Central and South America. 

Through collaborative innovations with the highest quality partners, Emmanuel Academies has implemented a highly innovative 5 Year Pastoral Leadership Degree Program, which allows students called to serve the church and congregations to earn both a BA and MDiv over 5 years, through a program that is more accessible and flexible and less expensive and time consuming that traditional 8 year programs. This program has expanded into MDiv and DMin degrees for adult learners. Our geographic scope also includes Africa.

Our focus on Faith, Work & Economics has brought us into the community, with education linking Sunday to Monday, MicroLending, on the ground social entrepreneurship programs, and much more.

Emmanuel Academies also supports Early Childhood Education, Faith Forming Bible Schools, language refinement and vocational training, mentoring, coaching, and continuing education. Emmanuel Academies is touching numerous lives each day!
