Our Schedule has been adjusted to reflect the COVID-19 pandemic. Please go HERE to find the latest information.
When are your services?
Sunday morning at 10:30am - is our main worship service.
Sunday School at 9:30am - for kids and Bible Study Circles for adults.
Do you have a space for those with social anxiety?
We understand that anxiety has become nearly epidemic in our culture. Because of this we are compassionate toward those who suffer. Our service is streamed to the lobby for just for you. You can join a small gathering in the lobby and still be a connected part of our church family.
What's the service like?
Our services are contemporary with a sprinkling of traditional hymns from time to time. We are multi-generational and love it that way! We usually start with an opening song, then follow that with prayer and an offering for members (don’t feel compelled to give, we want to be a blessing to you!) then a few more songs and a Bible-based message from our lead pastor or one of our volunteer pastors. Our Sunday morning worship service typically lasts for an hour and 15 minutes.
We will also NEVER point you out as our guest, we are happy you are with us and want you to enjoy your time at Emmanuel.
How do people dress?
People dress mostly casual, some do wear dresses and feel comfortable dressing up a bit. Our pastor typically wears nice jeans or pants and a collared shirt while preaching. We really aren’t concerned with how you dress, just that you are here and being blessed by the ministry of the Word and Worship.
WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS AND TEENS?
We have an amazing nursery run and served by a wonderful staff. All of our kids ministry workers have their background checked and are required to be members in good standing before they are allowed to serve in our children’s ministries. You may check your child in downstairs, right by the nursery, or keep your child with you in the service. Some parents opt to keep their children with them in the service and at times will join a small gathering in the lobby if the children are getting a little rambunctious.

Kids Ministry is one of the great movements of the heart of Emmanuel. The undeniable fact of the Biblical account of Jesus is that HE loves children. Well, because HE loves children and His Spirit is in His church, we love them too! In addition to having a playground, we are children friendly; during our services it’s not unusual to children approaching our pastor and being invited on the platform to pray with him to open the message. You may also see them collecting a special offering, or helping to lead a new worship song. We also know that children need to be discipled to Jesus in a meaningful way. For that reason we have these awesome ministries just for them.

Every Sunday morning our amazing staff leads children from k-5th grades in their very own time of worship and teaching at their level of understanding. It’s a high energy time that allows a kid to be a kid and still worship Jesus and learn of him.
