Imagine a church in which so much of God’s work in the world takes place Monday through Saturday. Imagine the members and friends of that church exercising their faith in that world in ways they never imagined by virtue of who they are and how they serve. Then imagine those members and friends coming together on Sunday to celebrate the God who created them and to learn from Jesus who continues to
teach and lead them. Immanuel is that kind of church, that kind of faith community. Having been drawn together by God’s deep love and inspired by Jesus’ message of radical servanthood, Immanuel is a community in which we believe in practicing God’s extravagant welcome, a place where all are encouraged to question, to probe, to seek, to learn and grow. Our purpose is to follow Jesus so that our relationships might become more authentic, our love more inclusive, and our giving and serving deepened and strengthened. Immanuel is about the following: Worship, so we can give thanks and become re-centered in God. Spiritual growth and learning so we can keep pace with a God who is always breaking barriers and opening up new horizons. Mission, so we can join the work God is already doing. Supporting faith in daily life, so we can help people discover, claim and integrate their strengths as they join God’s work in the world. As we strive to live out our faith each and every week we need an easy way to find one another, to be there for one another, and to enjoy the community that God has created around us. This directory helps to serve that purpose. It also has another wonderful purpose in that it will help those who are yet to join us have the opportunity to get to know us without feeling overwhelmed. Whether you’ve been on the journey with us for many years or just getting started, we are so glad you’ve joined us as we continue to follow the God who is still speaking!
