Welcome!
Wherever you are at in your life, we want to walk with you to become the person God has called you to be. Maybe you’re…
- looking to be God's hands and connect with others through service
- struggling to find community or re-engage with a Christian community
- trying to grow in your relationship with Jesus
- supporting the faith journey of little ones in your home
- searching for grace in a world that feels harsh sometimes
At Emmanuel, you will find friends who will support and explore faith with you.

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.
What to Expect on Sundays
- Please come as you are—however you’re comfortable.
- We’ll provide coffee between services and often light refreshments.
- Our goal is that you find a welcoming environment, with our greeters, ushers, and members willing to help you find your way or answer any questions about worship.
- Young children are invited to a children's chapel after the children's sermon through the end of the sermon.

Children are the Church

Faith is Always Growing
No matter your age or biblical knowledge, you can always grow in faith, understanding of scripture, and to ask difficult questions with an affirming community.
Opportunities are available for:
- adults to continue to explore their faith and love for their neighbors
- children to learn about Jesus and his love for all
- Congregation-wide faith forums to discuss pressing topics such as interfaith relations, love and inclusion of all, etc.
You can also find a community through a variety of small groups and bible studies that meet throughout the week.
