Emmanuel Christian Seminary (formerly Emmanuel School of Religion) is a graduate theological seminary near Johnson City, Tennessee. It was founded in 1965 by church leaders and scholars within the Christian churches and churches of Christ and the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) who recognized a need for a seminary deeply rooted in the heritage of the Stone-Campbell wing of the Reformed tradition while still engaging in rigorous theological preparation for ministers.[1] The seminary is on a hill overlooking the Appalachian Mountains of Northeast Tennessee.
The school offers three degrees: the Master of Arts in Religion (M.A.R.), the Master of Divinity (M.Div.), and the Doctor of Ministry (D.Min.). It is accredited by the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools and the Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada to award masters and doctoral degrees.[2] Support for the school comes from churches and individuals who believe in the school's mission of ministerial preparation.

Emmanuel has graduated many alumni that presently serve in colleges and seminaries across the United States and around the world.[citation needed] The majority of Emmanuel's graduates serve as ministers in a variety of contexts; parish pastors, professors, missionaries, campus ministers, children and youth ministers, church planters, and chaplains in hospitals and the military.[citation needed]
Campus
Emmanuel's main building, the B.D. Phillips Memorial building is located at the top of a hill that overlooks the Milligan College campus and the Appalachian Mountains. It is in the Phillips Memorial Building that students attend classes and chapel. The building also contains Emmanuel's library of over 181,000 volumes, and which houses the Restoration Archives, a unique collection of materials chronicling the history and theology of the Stone-Campbell wing of the Reformed tradition.[3] Thanks to generous donations by alumni and friends of the school,[citation needed] Emmanuel's library now has on display a copy of Codex Vaticanus, Codex Sinaiticus, and the Nuremberg Chronicle. The administrative offices are located on the first floor.
The Thompson Community Center is located within walking distance of the main building. The Thompson Center has lodging available for guests who wish to stay on campus. Students study in the Fife Fireside Room or in the Ashworth Alumni Hall. The Itha Pratt Conference Room houses seminar and conference rooms. The offices of the Emmanuel Institutes, which host seminars and continuing education classes for ministers throughout the year, are also located here.
The Emmanuel Village is the on campus housing available for students and their families. The Village consists of 42 English Cottage style townhomes. Students reside in a community that is within walking distance of their class rooms. The Delno Brown Walking Trail and the Dana Gohn Prayer Garden are nearby, as is a children's playground. The Algrhim Carriage House located in the Village serves as a facility for campus maintenance.
Student Body
Led by President Michael L. Sweeney, the student body is composed of approximately 150 students, mostly pursuing masters degrees and mostly coming from the Christian Churches and Churches of Christ, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), and the Churches of Christ, though an increasing number of students from the Episcopal Church, Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.), Baptist Churches, and the United Methodist Church have studied there in recent years.[citation needed]
