SERVE
As a church body we lift up the words of the Great Commission, “Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing and teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you.” Matthew 28:19-20
With the Great Commission as our foundation we now seek to join Jesus in his mission field!

Youth Ministry
As a youth ministry we seek to live out our faith through acts of service. The youth have served Immanuel as acolytes, helping our view team, annually setting up Christmas decorations, and more!
