Emmanuel College

Emmanuel College traces its roots to 1919, when the International Pentecostal Holiness Church established it in the tiny town of Franklin Springs to train ministers and leaders rooted in Pentecostal traditions. Students who thrive here seek a deeply faith-integrated education, where daily chapel and spiritual formation shape campus life alongside studies. The college's personality revolves around personal mentorship from professors who often double as spiritual guides, fostering a family-like atmosphere in a student body of about 990 undergraduates. Franklin Springs offers a quiet, low-cost rural setting amid Georgia's rolling hills, just an hour from Athens, but the remote location means you'll drive for bigger-city amenities or diverse dining.
