Sent to Serve and Committed to Justice

Sent to Serve

Live out your faith through intentional gratitude, grateful sharing and joyful giving!

Immanuel is deeply committed to caring for and serving people within and outside of our building. We believe that acts of caring and service are an important faith habit, as well as a response to the Good News of Jesus Christ. Developing a servant heart begins with our children, continues with our youth, and is an integral part of the life of our adults. There are many ways for adults, children & youth to serve.

As we live out our Vision of God calling each of us to reach deeper into our congregation and community to better know and care for one another, we understand that working towards safe, affordable, and stable housing is a foundational part of caring for our neighbors. We support several initiatives that are working to provide housing for all:
