Welcome to Immanuel! We’re glad you are here. “Preparing Hearts for Home” is Immanuel’s mission. “Home” has a dual meaning. First, we seek to prepare people to experience God’s love in their current situation with the people they love most. It also means preparing people for the “home” that Jesus is getting ready for those who love Him and are living according to His purpose.
About The Church
CURRENT SERIES
The world tries to tell us there is a secret, that if discovered, and practiced will lead to a prosperous life. Companies attempt to persuade us that we can achieve it by driving their car, using their soap, investing with their brokers, wearing their clothes, following their workout regiments, and even eating their food and taking their supplements.
CAMPUS UPDATE
So close and yet so far! Those song lyrics from Elvis Presley are not entirely accurate but they are “close.” The more accurate lyric may read like this: “We have arrived, yet there is still much to see and do.”
