Emmanuel |
|
| is central to our name,
because His word declares that “He is with
us”. He has seen fit to assemble this body
of believers to exalt His son, Jesus Christ
-- the One whose death and resurrection
gives us peace with God and the hope of
heaven. Because He is with us we have a
relationship with Him. You'll find that
this relationship is the common thread
that runs through every ministry and expression
of worship here at the Emmanuel Community
Church. |
|
Community |
|
| is a significant part or our name. It suggests both genuine fellowship within our church family and an open door to those around us. As members of one body, we seek to preserve the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace (Ephesians 4:3). As a light in our community, we're a place of peace for those in chaos, a place of forgiveness for the guilty, and a place of hope for the hopeless. |

|
Church |
|
however, is paramount because of its absolute and utter uniqueness. While "Emmanuel" and "Community" were our choice in defining who we are, "Church" was mandated by God -- as revealed in His Word. It is His designation for the assembly of people called by His name. As such, our course has been charted by God; our destiny has been planned by God; our members have been chosen by God; our purposes have been defined by God.
We trust you'll discover God's grace and mercy among us here at Emmanuel. Our prayer is that we'll live up to His name. |
