Emmanuel House is a Spiritual Formation Center that is committed to developing reflective, missional leaders through classes, retreats and personal Spiritual Direction. Our goal is to partner with local churches and ministries to cultivate lay-leaders who are strong in the Biblical texts, skilled in working with others and sensitive to the culture in which they minister. We want to help leaders engage in the process of their own spiritual formation as they point others to Christ.

Our hope is to provide leadership training and spiritual direction to those who don't have the time or resources to attend a traditional seminary. We also want to be a resource for local churches and other ministries that don't have the resources or manpower to do this kind of training themselves.

We currently operate out of Manhattan, KS and in the Kansas City area and at times do extension work in Lincoln, NE. We also offer classes at a distance via live Skype sessions of classes taught at our current sites. If you are interested in arranging a class or seminar in another area, please contact us at info@emmahouse.org and we will see if we can arrange something.

We invite you to browse the site and learn more about our ministry philosophy and values.
