Faith is Always Growing
No matter your age, we can always grow in faith and our understanding of the Bible, and ask questions with an affirming community.
Opportunities are available for adults and children to continue to explore their faith and love for their neighbors, on Sunday mornings and at special events throughout the year.
You can also find a community through a variety of small groups and Bible studies that meet throughout the week.
Our Unity is in Christ
In June 2020, Emmanuel became a Reconciling in Christ congregation and has made a public commitment to welcome, include, and celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and asexual (LGBTQIA+) people and their loved ones. We welcome and affirm full participation by all because God loves and welcomes all.
The Church and Christians have historically excluded and persecuted LGBTQIA+ people. We pray for forgiveness for our part in harming God's beautiful people. We are committed to continuing our work for justice for the LGBTQIA+ community.
