We called Emmanuel a "congregation" not a "church" from the beginning. By this we mean that the congregation, with the help of God, takes responsibility for the things that need to be done, organizes itself to achieve common goals, and thereby becomes an example of what the love of Christ is all about. At Emmanuel we feel that when we serve on a Committee we are doing Christ's work, and thus the act of serving becomes a Ministry of God.

​

Emmanuel functions because of the talent and time its members give. We need your help! Contact us to learn more about any of these initiatives, or fill out the Volunteer Form at the bottom of this page.
