Wherever you are from, wherever you are in life,
This church may be the place for you. God’s friends wherever we find them.

We welcome you to what we are:

We're Ancient and New

The faith we hold is ancient, going back to Jesus, back to his spiritual ancestors, back to those who walked the earth and found holy ground. And what we do is often based on really ancient patterns—worship and music; loving service to the poor, the hurting, the lonely; working for justice and peace; lively, fearless education and formation of

minds and souls. And that faith is also completely contemporary, engaged in the culture and the needs of the moment. We're For

The dignity and worth of every person. An open minded, passionate commitment to truth. The importance of everyone’s own spiritual journey. Seeking Christ in every person who comes through the door. The sacredness of life’s rites of passage. The value of community. The hard work necessary to make sure that all welcomed. Telling the truth about life’s challenges. A “user-friendly” church experience. We're Against

Claiming to have all the answers. Elitism and exclusivism, especially in church. Bigotry for any reason. Authoritarianism. Indifference to injustice and suffering. Certitude in the face of ambiguity and superficial answers to hard questions. Boring sermons, bad music and general cluelessness. (So, God help us, because we don’t always avoid them!)

We Value

Community, open hearts, open minds, open arms. Faith. Fortitude. Staying current, but equally staying rooted in tradition. Reason and honesty. Civic Responsibility as Virginians, Americans and global citizens. Debate that allows for mutual respect. Music and beauty for their own sake. Joy in God’s creation. Anyone who makes an effort to get to know and follow Jesus. Or, to put it more briefly: Reason over dogma. Reality over perfection. And ambiguity over certitude. In other words, Faith. Everybody needs a place. Emmanuel Church could be yours. Check us out!

Join us for a weekend of Emmanuel fellowship in the mountains at Shrine Mont in Orkney Springs, VA.

Shrine Mont Parish Weekend
September 4-6th, 2026

Why join us?
Shrine Mont is the home of the Cathedral Shrine of the Transfiguration — the open-air cathedral of the Diocese of Virginia. It is “a place where people give thanks to God for his creation — from the beauty of the streams, flowers and wildlife which are at home here, to the people who come to this place to celebrate being part of the family of God.” Emmanuel’s annual parish weekend at Shrine Mont is designed to bring us together for fellowship, recreation, reflection, worship and song.

Anyone who wants to relax and share fellowship in a beautiful setting should come! Shrine Mont is a special place for all people - individuals, couples and families. Meals are included and everything is taken care of; you can do as much or as little as you desire. The slow pace, beautiful surroundings, and free time provide an opportunity for new and longtime members to connect and reconnect.

Registration is now open.

O God, who for our redemption gave your only-begotten Son to the death of the cross, and by his glorious resurrection delivered us from the power of our enemy: Grant us so to die daily to sin, that we may evermore live with him in the joy of his resurrection; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
