Our VISION

CORE VALUES
Our main goal is to lead people to become fully devoted followers of Christ. Our Core Values help us accomplish this mission. Our Core Values are Gospel Unity, Authentic Community, Radical Service, and Pursuing Excellence.
Gospel Unity
An uncommon unity made possible by putting Jesus above all, diverse in age, race, ethnicity, and gender for the sake of the Gospel and the good of the church.
Authentic Community
We are real people with real flaws, desiring to grow in a real relationship with a real God through our Lord Jesus Christ.
Radical Service
Committed to serving one another, our community, and the Lord; doing whatever it takes to reach people with the Gospel and teach them how to become fully devoted disciples of Christ.
Pursuing Excellence
Running the race of faith, with our eyes fixed on Jesus and the finish line; committed to being the best we can be both individually and corporately, by the power of the Spirit, for the Glory of God.
BELIEFs
While interpretations on minor theological issues may vary among members, Immanuel Baptist Church unites around 5 core beliefs that can be found below:
"The Bible is God’s Word"
2 Timothy 3:16-17 16All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, 17that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.
​​​
​
"Jesus is the only hope for the world"
Acts 4:12 Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.
​​
​
"We’ve been called to make disciples of all nations"
Matthew 28:19-20: 19Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.
​
​​
"God is able"
Ephesians 3:20-21 20Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, 21to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.
​
​​
"Eternity really is at stake"
1 John 5:11-12 11And this is the testimony: that God has given us eternal life, and this life is in His Son. 12He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
