Study the authentic Immanuel Approach with a supportive community. 

The Immanuel Institute is a vibrant, interactive learning community training Practitioners in the Immanuel Approach.

The Immanuel Approach was developed to allow Jesus to lead--making it a highly effective, trauma-informed model for emotional healing. 

In all of our courses, we gladly uphold the integrity of the model, teaching the Immanuel Approach as designed by Dr. Karl Lehman and Dr. Jim Wilder.

The Immanuel Institute offers diverse learning experiences to deepen your skills.


 

Created by the leadership team of the Face to Face Network, the Immanuel Institute is comprised of experienced educators, Advanced Practitioners, and coaches who understand how students learn. We've developed our courses to balance an in-depth theoretical framework with hands-on practice and face-to-face mentorship.

At the Immanuel Institute, you'll learn the neuroscientific and biblical principles behind the Immanuel Approach. You'll become comfortable facilitating an interactive connection with Jesus, and you'll begin to experience his presence in all areas of life.

When you pursue certification through the Immanuel Institute, you'll learn to implement the Immanuel Approach as an ethical Practitioner of emotional healing.

Most courses meet weekly in a synchronous online format, with practice and additional reading encouraged outside of class. Courses and cohorts typically have two start dates per year and offer flexible scheduling options.
