Sunday School, the Sunday morning and evening services, and Wednesday night prayer meeting are all times of spiritual instruction and encouragement. College students who have not been permanent residents of the Pontiac area prior to enrolling in the college are required to attend all services of Emmanuel Baptist Church. A Christian education is valuable only when it is used in the service of Christ. Midwestern Baptist College provides numerous opportunities for students to serve Christ in the community. Emmanuel Baptist Church has a program of visitation open to students and other church members.
Students learn and serve at the same time.
A soul winning emphasis is maintained. Opportunities are available in child evangelism, Sunday School, choir, and bus ministries of Emmanuel Baptist Church. Services held in prisons, rescue missions, and nursing homes also provide opportunities for enrichment. Participation in some form of Christian service is required as a practical application of the training the students receive in the classroom. These activities help to prepare the students for an effective life of Christian service and soul winning.
