Five Areas of Focus for the Future
From the President's Desk
November 2022
The faithful partnership of God’s people has sustained the mission of Emmaus Bible College – Educating and equipping students to impact the World for Christ – for over 81 years. 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.
The core of who and what we are remains constant and unwavering, even as we serve a new generation of learners. Please pray with us as we seek to increase both our campus and online presence. I’ll briefly share five areas of focus for the near future:
- Enhance Programs for Students – Expand our Global Campus online program offerings; grow our health sciences; create a Master’s degree in Biblical Leadership; launch an Intensive English Program.
- Robust Athletics – Leverage alumni and high school networks; recruit and retain mission-fit students and coaches; continue to grow the Emmaus athletic brand.
- Improve Facilities – Focus on high-use areas: Glock Auditorium renovation, Pollard Fieldhouse upgrades, and campus infrastructure; eventually build out the top floors of Smith Hall, as we grow the campus community.
- Marketing Excellence for Enrollment – Expand regional awareness among Christian schools; increase national and international advertising and outreach; focus attention on national homeschool and local church connections.
- Increasing Endowment Funds for Enrollment – Provide robust financial support for deserving students; provide stability for the long-term future.
I continue to be highly enthusiastic about the future of Emmaus Bible College! Only by God’s grace, and through the prayers and generosity of Emmaus supporters, can we achieve the above goals.
Blessings,
Philip Boom
President
