What is service like?

It is our desire to create an opportunity for you to connect with God every Sunday morning. Our service is blended, which means there will be a fine balance of traditional hymns and contemporary praise songs. Don't worry, all words will be on the screen for you to follow along for both prayers and music. On first Sundays and special occasions, we share in Holy Communion and everyone is welcome to participate.

Church membership is a covenant relationship among God, the church member, and the entire congregation. Together, we profess the Christian faith and seek to live as disciples of Jesus Christ. Church members are dedicated in their faith, care for one another, and utilize their spiritual gifts to glorify God and serve the community.

What should I do if I'm interested in becoming a member?

The first step is to meet with the pastor to express your interest. Pastor Steve offers at least one "Coffee with the Pastor" opportunity each month where you can ask questions and get to know one another. Beyond this initial meeting, you can attend one of our "Life at Emmanuel" luncheons to delve deeper into to what it means to be a church member and how to get plugged into the life and ministry of the church.

God.

When we say the Apostles' Creed, we join with millions of Christians through the ages in an understanding of God as a Trinity—three persons in one: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. God, who is one, is revealed in three distinct persons. God is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe.

Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, not a mere force. His inner prompting makes people aware of their need for Jesus. He is given to every believer at the moment of salvation, to empower them to live a holy life and to grant gifts for service. He leads all believers into truth, and believers become like Christ as a result of submitting to His leading.

Humanity.

Men and women are created by God in His image and all are loved by God. We are made to know God personally and to glorify Him in our lives. However, in addition to the wonderful promise and potential, each of us also has an inner attitude of rebellion against God’s leadership in our lives. That is called sin. Sin separates us from God. No one has lived a sinless life (except Jesus) and therefore all of us need God’s forgiveness and salvation through Christ.

Jesus.

Jesus is the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity. He was born to the Virgin Mary by miraculous conception. Being both fully God and fully human, He lived a sinless life, perfectly revealing the Father. By His suffering, death and resurrection, he provided the only way to salvation. He rose from the dead after three days, and ascended to heaven where He rules and reigns with the Father. He will return again to earth and rule as the supreme Judge and King of all.

Salvation.

Salvation is a gift of God which we receive through faith in Christ – it is not earned or deserved. We are able to experience the assurance of our salvation because of God’s promise. We are saved by grace through faith.
