OUR MISSION & VALUES

A – Accept All (We Welcome God's People to Engaging Worship)
B – Build Faith Through Engaging Experiences
C – Connect Church With Home
D – Do Caring Acts of Love & Service

By connecting church and home, Emmanuel equips people to love God and serve others as Christ loves us.
We can do this by serving the needs of God’s people in all stages of life, with particular emphasis on Young families Youth Group, Youth and young adults and Special needs populations in our church and community.

We can accomplish this by becoming…

• Deeper through Discipleship (growing in faith)

• Stronger through Worship (being nurtured in God’s Word)

• Warmer through Fellowship (developing relationships with God’s people)

• Broader through Ministry (serving God’s people)

• Larger through Evangelism (sharing our faith with others)

OUR VISION

Our vision at Emmanuel is that by “connecting church and home, we equip people to love God and serve others as Christ loves us”. We know that vibrant faith formation happens when faith is demonstrated both in the church community as well as at home. Faith practices of parents, grandparents and other adults in the home not only strengthens their faith, but is also an important influence on the faith development of youth. We provide opportunities and resources that will help people of all ages not only grow in faith through worship and related church activities, but also at home with the family unit. Devotions, caring conversations, service, and rituals and traditions done at home continue to build upon the faith foundation begun in a church community.

God’s blessings to you and thank you for stopping to learn more about us!
