What is the Emmaus Correspondence Centre?
It began in 1942 in Toronto, Ontario, as "Emmaus Correspondence School," to provide correspondence Bible courses to people who desired to study the Bible systematically & with structured input, but could not physically go to Bible college or financially afford to do so.
This ministry grew & spread internationally and is now part of "Emmaus Worldwide" which operates in many countries around the world with courses translated into in many languages, and with more than 45 million courses distributed!
The idea of 'correspondence courses' or "distance learning" has a long history among Christians. The Apostle Paul used it when he wrote "courses" in the form of circular letters. His respondents studied
the “course” and communicated back to him regarding issues which they did not understand. Paul then wrote another "course" (letter) to further explain and clarify any unresolved issues.

ible correspondence course does not take the place of the Bible! Rather, it is simply a helpful tool that assists a person step-by-step to understand and apply the truths of Bible. Our Bible courses have a small exam at the end of each chapter. This gives an opportunity to personalize & respond, enabling the student to express themselves. The exams are returned to the Emmaus Correspondence Centre, and checked by instructors who respond in writing with appropriate encouragement, counsel or further instruction. Follow-up Bible correspondence course may be recommended as suitable.
Correspondence study is convenient; the students arrange the study to suit their own schedule. Correspondence study is very affordable.
When the student enrolls in an Emmaus course they receive much more than an ordinary tract, book or study guide can offer. A personal tutor (Associate Instructor) is assigned to each student; there is a continuing interest in the spiritual growth and welfare of each student.
Come join the millions who have benefited from the help of Emmaus Correspondence Courses in their personal study and ministry to others!
