Eastern Missouri Bible College is committed to the idea that Christian believers are commanded by Jesus to carry out the Great Commission "Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:" (Matthew 28:19) The students at EMBC can study at home and at their own pace, there are no classes to attend. Most of the study and research material can be immediately downloaded and there are no books to buy.
