A Look at EMC
Empowered Master’s Commission is a discipleship school designed exclusively for young women. The world has so many opinions on what a woman is and how a woman of God should carry herself. However, the only definitive voice on this matter is the voice of God. Our Director, Rev. Shelby Hardy, desires EMC to be a place where God’s daughters can learn to hear God’s voice, know His heart, understand His truth, and be empowered by His Spirit.
Students can spend one to three years at EMC, depending on their academic track. When young ladies walk away from EMC we want them to be equipped for their calling and firm in their walk with the Lord, prepared to make disciples as Jesus comissioned all believers in Matthew 28:19. We achieve this discipleship and empowerment through the following key elements:
01. Intentional time in Prayer and the Word
02. Higher Education (College level courses)
03. Hands-on Ministry and Leadership
Training
04. Servanthood (reaching the community and the world)
05. Intergenerational Fellowship
06. Targeted Discipleship and Life Skills Curriculum
Why all Women?
It's hard to explain EMC without experiencing it because it's unique. It's a school coupled with intense discipleship. A unique aspect of having an all women's team is that women will be able to experience how to be Godly sisters to other women. They will learn to work alongside other women and not be threatened by others’ gift sets. It’s not uncommon for a woman to distrust other women.
In this culture, it’s accepted, and sometimes even encouraged, for women to form cliques and operate in unGodly-comparison. This only breeds insecurity, pride, and jealousy. At EMC, this will not be the case. We base this virtue on scripture, "They will know you are my disciples by your love for one another," (John 13: 35).
Here is where a woman can come and sit at the feet of Jesus and receive healing. She can learn to trust other women and how to interact with Godly love towards everyone, especially women. She will strengthen her character and have the ability to encourage others and be excited about their success.
Student Body Info
Our student body comprises young women, ages 18-29, who desire to grow deeper in their walk with Christ. We have students come right out of high school, after college, and from the workplace, aiming to be disciplined and set a part. Empowered Master's Commission can be both a first step or a next step, but no matter what, we know each student will be challenged, changed, and transformed.
