MISSIONS @IMMANUEL
Immanuel supports missions and ministries to show the love of Christ in a tangible way by making a difference in the lives of those in need spiritually, emotionally, physically and socially. Whether it is tutoring youth in our neighborhood, serving a community dinner, helping the homeless, quilting a blanket for a newborn baby, sharing the love of Christ to someone in the hospital, or planting a crop that supports a project in a third world country half way around the world, the aim is the same --to show live out the love of Christ. To this end, Immanuel members lead or volunteer in many exciting missions and ministries and also give through special offerings throughout the year that support many local, regional, national, and world-wide missions and ministries.
Community Missions & Projects include Homework Club and Community Dinner, Habitat for Humanity, Lafayette Urban Ministry (LUM), Pastor's Discretionary Fund helping families in need, Cary Home and Cary Home Christmas Project, Merom Camp and Campership Scholarships, Heifer Project, Lafayette Community Health Clinic, and Lafayette Transitional Housing.
