“Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into Him who is the head, into Christ.”
New Here?
Are you new to Immanuel Baptist Church or thinking of visiting one of our gatherings? Here is some basic information and resources to help serve you as you join us.
Partners & Resources
The Bible calls us to glorify God by partnering with others for the progress of the gospel and the spread of God’s Word. Learn more about the ministries we support or recommend.
Adult Discipleship Classes
Sunday discipleship classes run from 9:15 – 10:00 AM. They include teaching and time for questions and interaction.
We use this time to tackle various topics the Bible teaches on, often by looking across many Scriptures in one class. This time of learning is meant to be highly applicational, so that we are learning to live all of life under the lordship of Jesus the Christ, so that we may give Him glory in every aspect of our lives together as His family (1 Corinthians 10:31).
