Our Vision
Immanuel has adopted Matthew 28:19-20 as our mission statement. To make disciples of all nations is what drives all we do. The journey begins with a personal relationship with God through Christ. As we implement the disciplines of growth to our lives, the natural by product will be a desire to share with others what we have experienced.
As a Church, we desire to share this message with those on our block, in our city, throughout the state, our Nation, and yes, to every part of the world. Our goal is to develop strategic relationships with people, organizations, and churches to provide opportunities for everyone to be on Mission, using their God given “SHAPE”. Nothing will be more exciting than to join God where He is working, and experience Him using you in ways you have never imagined.
