Faith is a gift of God which He places in our hearts through His Spirit. It is part of every activity that we do, every meeting that we hold. We believe in our Lord, and our actions are a reflection of His grace, mercy and love at work among us.
The Bible is the Word of God, the only source of knowledge about God and His forgiving love. The Bible is the way God speaks to us still today with His truth. These sacred Scriptures were written by men but as they were inspired and guided by the Holy Spirit. Therefore what the Bible says is true and without error.
Immanuel as a Church is a fellowship of all who have come to faith in Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord. God has given His Church two great gifts to continue its growth and life; Baptism, to create faith, and the Lord’s Supper to nurture that faith. As that church we gather in community, we grow in His Word, and we serve with His love.
We are committed to igniting faith on and off campus by walking with Christ. College is a time when real community, supportive relationships, and strong faith are vitally important! Immanuel is a place where you can grow in faith while being equipped for success both now and beyond college. We invite you to be part of our ministry and consider making Immanuel your Christian Family Away From Home.
