In 2007, a pastoral fraternal was started to provide the means of fellowship and mutual encouragement among like-minded B-P pastors and elders on a monthly basis. It also provides a platform to collaborate and to build up greater ties among the like-minded churches. One of the concerns raised was the lack of Reformed-based colleges and seminaries in this part of the world where we can send our pastoral candidates to be trained and equipped for the work of the Gospel.

On 30 September 2008, representatives of a group of like-minded churches met to address this concern. The imperative to provide theological education to our people was felt by all. Eventually, in August 2016, Emmanuel Reformed Bible College was approved by the relevant authorities and was established as a full-fledged Bible College. Lectures began in January 2017 with an enrolment of 5 full-time students and 42 part-time students.

The College is the result of the collaborative efforts of like-minded Bible-Presbyterian churches, with Life Bible-Presbyterian Church taking the lead role. The College is also affiliated with Calvary Bible-Presbyterian Church, Maranatha Bible-Presbyterian Church and Sharon Bible-Presbyterian Church.

The College is registered to operate at Calvary Bible-Presbyterian Church at
1 Tao Ching Road, Singapore 618720, after being granted the approval from the Board of Elders of Calvary Bible-Presbyterian Church.
