Give toward Programs

Give Now
Each year, Emmaus graduates launch their lives changed by the powerful Emmaus experience, by our uncompromised Bible teaching, and by the variety of professional and ministry-related programs of study that are available.

When you give toward programs at Emmaus, you support our mission to educate and equip learners to impact the world for Christ. Expanding and continuing academic and campus programs enables the fulfillment of our overall mission, providing degree options that meet job-market needs, as well as opportunities for on-campus and cross-cultural engagement. Summer trips, like the one to South Africa, enhance student experience and aid in enrollment, as will serving our core constituency with value-added publications.
“It is such a huge blessing that I have the opportunity to get a degree in business admin. AND Bible!”
