BAPTISM

TAKE A NEXT IMPORTANT STEP OF OBEDIENCE

Baptism has been described as “an outward expression, of an inward transformation.” At Immanuel we don’t baptize so you can go to heaven, we baptize because you are going to heaven. It is an announcement of your decision to follow Jesus as your Savior. To learn more about baptism or to take that NEXT STEP in your journey click below.

To learn more about baptism and to discuss your decision with Pastor Jeff, please mark your attendence card, email the church office, or just chat with PJ after service. He will be happy to set up a time to speak with you about it. 

GET CONNECTED

FIND YOUR PLACE TO GET INVOLVED

The Christian life is not meant to be lived in isolation. It is to be lived in community, and better yet, in a small community. At Immanuel we call them small groups. Another way to put it is like this: real growth does not happen best in rows; it happens best in circles. Sitting in a large-group row is just the beginning of your growth as a believer. Growth is kicked in overdrive when we sit in a circle where we can talk with each other, ask questions, learn from each other, and pray for each other. We have various small groups that are short term or on-going that meet on Sundays, as well as different days of the week. To learn more click on the GET CONNECTED tab above.

SERVE

FIND YOUR PLACE TO SERVE

God has given each of us talents, abilities and interests. The Bible calls them spiritual gifts. He wants us to use them for His purpose. Immanuel has several opportunities to put those talents to work for Kingdom purposes. Volunteer ministry teams are the backbone of what takes place at Immanuel. There are some places where you can serve even if you are new to Immanuel or not yet a member. To begin a conversation about how you can plug into what God is doing in and through Immanuel please speak with Pastor Jeff or JD.
