Our Mission
Emmanuel Church is a dynamic faith community committed to
sharing God’s love. Our mission is to equip people to live as
disciples of Jesus through worship, spiritual formation, and outreach
into the wider community.
We believe:
- God calls us to live as disciples of Jesus and to engage in
active ministry in the church and in the world.
- God welcomes all people to full inclusion in the worship life
of our parish.
- The sacrament of baptism is the initiation rite by which we
become members of the Body of Christ.
- As the Body of Christ, God calls us to be the agents of God's
love.
- God calls us to live as an inclusive, loving community that
embraces all who wish to walk with us regardless of race, economic
status, gender, or sexual orientation.
- Our sense of community and the love and care that we give to,
and receive from, each other is a gift from God.
- Creative liturgy, including inspired preaching and quality music,
lead us deeper into the mysteries of God.
- We honor children by providing a quality church program and
the Emmanuel Day School.
- God will provide the resources necessary to do the work to which
God calls us.
- God calls us to be "global citizens" - to recognize
our responsibility to the poor of our world and to the environment
in which we live.
