EMMANUEL FELLOWSHIP exists to bring honor and glory to God in all that is thought, said, and done, not only in our worship service but also in the lives we live on a day-by-day basis. Where ever we are and what ever we do, Christ is with us – Emmanuel. We have His presence (2Cor 4:7) thus making us “carriers” of his love, his forgiveness, and God’s message of reconciliation. We are to be a living
expression of Christ’s life and love declaring His kingdom and His power for the transformation of human lives. Francis of Assisi may have said it best, "Preach the gospel at all times; if necessary, use words." EMMANUEL FELLOWSHIP esteems the Holy Scripture in affirming the critical importance of
preaching, public reading of the Word, and personal Bible study. We believe being a Christian is a lifestyle based upon a committed relationship with Jesus Christ. Both the Apostles Creed and the Nicene Creed are sufficient declarations of our beliefs. EMMANUEL FELLOWSHIP is liturgical/sacramental in worship. We highly value the Sacraments of the church as they are vital for worship and have been preserved and practiced through the centuries. As a part of our spiritual life we celebrate Holy Communion on a weekly basis and we anoint with oil and pray for the sick in our services. We also use the Anglican form of worship found in the Book of Common Prayer but we are relaxed enough for God to have His way through us. We believe in the full work of the Holy Spirit as baptizer and the giver of gifts for the church, the one who leads us in all truth, and is actively working to make us more Christ like.
