Emmanuel Academies, Inc. is excited to announce that they will be hosting a “Lunch and Learn” on Tuesday, December 3 from 12 to 1:30 p.m. at Emmanuel Lutheran Church located at 777 Mooring Line Drive in Naples. Guests will learn about Emmanuel Academies’ new and innovative 5-Year Pastoral Leadership Degree Program and available scholarship opportunities. Those who enroll in the program may earn a Bachelor’s Degree from Concordia University Chicago and a Master of Divinity from Sioux Falls Seminary over a 5-year period. The program allows students to live and work in their community while taking classes remotely and engaging in competency-based contextual learning. The program is the outcome of collaborative innovation, bringing together accredited institutions offering best-in-class education nationally. “We have structured the program to be affordable, accessible, flexible and innovative,” said Howard Isaacson, Chief Executive Officer. “Our goal is to provide a pathway for those who are called to be Pastors seeking an alternative pathway to get there.” Emmanuel Academies’ mission is to create leaders for Christian service within diversified communities, providing opportunities for educational development, vocational training, Pastoral leadership and ordination.
