De Guzman. The Immanuel United Methodist Church (IUMC) was established in 1972, known then as the youngest and the singing church in the Pampanga District. It was founded by the three brilliant women of God, the Reverend Pastor Paz A Macaspac; the Reverend Goldie Bergsten, and Miss Rose Q. Its Church Council was headed by abled and faithfully committed laymen and women that have contributed much i
n the nurturing of faith amongst its congregation; from kids, the youth, the young adults and the elderlies. Its congregation has grown not only in numbers but mission work and activities have thrived over and beyond the communities it has served till these days. The church has never been spared of the struggles and chaos. Stricken with lahar as caused by the Mt. Pinatubo eruption in the 1990s, its people never gave up hope. They have rebuilt its structures and revived the worship and ministry. Steadfast faith has led many of its members to worship and praise God in the place where it is erected. Today, the church stands in its grand stature. Worship and praise music is rending and echoing. The members, young and old alike are garbed with robe of faith and are on fire serving the Lord. The congregation continues to grow. God is with us! An assurance that will keep the church moving, growing and serving. The IUMC resonates its faith and vision with its mission and intent: Committed to Christ, called to witness to the ends of the earth.
