The Foundations of Immanuel’s Church
Worship
Are you ready to tap into the divine purpose of your existence? We believe that we were created by God to worship Him and that nothing else comes close to it (John 4: 23-24). With that in mind, we are committed to passionately praising and worshipping Him as individuals, families, and as a local church. Let’s raise our voices and hearts together in glorious adoration of our awesome Creator!
Authority of Scripture
We wholeheartedly believe that every word of Scripture is a divine message and is the one and only guide for our beliefs and actions – according to 2 Timothy 3:16-17 and 2 Peter 1:20-21. And that’s why we place great importance on preaching and teaching based on the Bible, as it forms the very foundation of everything we do. Let’s dive deep into the spiritually enlightening wisdom of the Scriptures together!
Prayer
As believers, we hold prayer as a precious gift and duty bestowed upon us by God. We fully embrace the fact that when we dedicate time to prayer, He bestows upon us His divine power and guidance, as evidenced in Matthew 6:7 and 1 Thessalonians 5:17. With this in mind, we commit to setting aside intentional moments for personal, family, and communal prayer. Let’s dive deeper into the vast richness of prayer together!
Fellowship/Community
As devoted Christians, we fully embrace the teachings of the Almighty and believe that He commands us to cherish loving bonds within our community (Romans 12:10; 1 John 4:7-11). That’s why we commit ourselves to nurturing respectful connections with our loved ones, family, and everyone we meet. With unwavering faith and love, we vow to prioritize honesty, trust, and mutual support in all our relationships. Together, let’s honor and uplift each other on this incredible journey called life!
Life Transformation
We believe that as Christians, it’s our responsibility to continuously strive towards becoming more like Him. That’s why we provide opportunities for everyone to grow spiritually and engage with the world around them from a Christian perspective. Let’s pursue Christ together! (Ephesians 4:13; Colossians 1:28)
Every Member Ministry
At our church, we truly believe that God lovingly attends to all aspects of our being – body, mind, and soul. And as members of this community, we are all called to be ministers in our own unique ways (Ephesians 4:11-12). That’s why we’re committed to equipping lay leaders who will serve with confidence and effectiveness, and in turn, help other believers discover and develop their own gifts for ministry. Let’s journey together and make a difference in the world!
Stewardship
Hey there, friend! We’re all about biblical stewardship because we believe it’s important to manage everything God’s given us – like our time, money, and abilities – in a way that expands His kingdom (1 Corinthians 4:2; 1 Peter 4:10). That’s why we encourage all our members to live a lifestyle of stewardship that recognizes God’s ownership of everything. One great way to put this into practice is by tithing – giving at least one-tenth of our income to support the work of the church! Let’s work together to honor God with all that we have.
