WHO WE ARE...
Immanuel United Church of Christ is a family of faith that seeks to serve Christ and others and seeks to bring faith and life together. Our core values are:
We are fond of saying "whoever you are and wherever you are on life's journey, YOU are welcome here!
We are a Christ-centered Family of Faith. We believe in genuine hospitality, heartfelt worship, discipleship and faith development, risk-taking mission and service, deep generosity, and we strive to be invitational in all we do.
Like every good family, we have great diversity...Liberal Evangelical Calvinist Lutherans with a dash of Baptists and more than a shake of Disciples, a leaven of Congregationalists sprinkled with Catholics and Episcopalians and a fresh prophetic breeze from Martin Luther King, Jr., Billy Graham, William Sloane Coffin, nurtured over time by the patient and unceasing love of God.
We sometimes play with ways of describing ourselves, including “Feeding Deep Hungers” (we like to eat, and eat well, but find that the spiritual hungers are the most important) or “Mainline sensibility, Evangelical passion, Progressive vision.” We find ourselves drawn not so much to labels as the central core beliefs of Christ, mission and fellowship.
God's grace and the patient and unceasing love of God is what is most important.
- Uniting in Christ
- Listening to God
- Serving His World
