Founded in 2025, for leaders far from seminaries.
Emmanuel Teaching Mission was founded in California in 2025 and recognized as a 501(c)(3) public charity effective February 5, 2025. We began with a simple conviction: faithful churches need well-taught leaders — yet many grassroots pastors and lay leaders in Chinese-speaking communities serve far from any seminary. ETM exists to bring sound teaching to them, right where they serve.
Our partner
Emmanuel Bible School of China.
EBSC was founded in Hong Kong in 2011 and is led by its President, Dr. Elizabeth Leung. It trains ministers and lay leaders for Chinese-speaking churches.
ETM is an independent U.S. ministry that works in partnership with EBSC, and may support its work through grants that ETM approves at its own discretion, in furtherance of ETM’s mission.

In the Triune God
God the Father is the true God, Creator of the universe and all things.
The Son, Jesus Christ, being equal with God, came to earth as a man. Conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary, He gave His life on the cross to redeem the world from sin. The punishment that brought us peace was upon Him, and by His wounds we are healed. On the third day He rose from the dead and ascended into heaven, where He now sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, and He will come again to judge the world.
The Holy Spirit is God who dwells within believers, and His filling empowers them to live holy lives and to serve God.
In the Bible
The inspired Word of God and the foundation of all faith and life.
In salvation through justification by faith
At the final judgment, both believers and unbelievers will be resurrected: believers to eternal life, unbelievers to eternal destruction.
In the Church
The Body of Christ. From the apostolic age until today, we all belong to one body, bearing witness to the glory of God.
