Outreach

We value our active outreach ministry. We believe that God calls us to bless others with that which God has blessed us. Our location in the heart of Newport offers ample opportunity to do so within our own community and beyond.

Emmanuel Church is a "ONE Congregation." We support the efforts of ONE: The Campaign to Make Poverty History. We endorse and support actively the United Nations' Millennium Development Goals through our teaching, outreach, and financial giving. For 2007, the vestry pledged 0.7% of our operating receipts to support organizations that are working to accomplish the MDGs.

In addition, the people of Emmanuel are active in the community, reaching out through various efforts, including Soup's On, the annual Crop Walk, Lucy's Hearth, Spanish Ministry, Cell Phones for Soldiers, Seaman's Church Institute and others.

Outreach projects include:
  • Soup’s On
  • Lucy’s Hearth
  • The Annual Crop Walk
  • Spanish Ministry
  • Cell Phones for Soldiers
  • Seaman’s Church Institute
  • and many others ...
Members of Emmanuel also participate in an annual mission trip. In April 2006, sixteen members of Emmanuel traveled to the Gulf Coast of Mississippi to help with the ongoing recovery from Hurricane Katrina. In April, 2007, sixteen members and friends spent a week gutting houses in New Orleans as part of the post-Katrina cleanup effort.
