Vision Statement
With Christ as our leader, we will reach out to people near and far so that they may embrace the gift of God’s salvation through Jesus Christ.

Immanuel’s members and guests will grow in faith and commitment through worship, praise, prayer and Christian fellowship.

Empowered by the love of Christ, we will grow in our compassion and service, caring for the physical and spiritual needs of those around us.

Immanuel will continue to provide outstanding, Christ-centered education for children and adults.

“We give glory to God through our pursuit of this vision He has for our congregation.”

The mission statement is a clear, concise, memorable and compelling statement of the fundamental purpose for our existence as a congregation. It answers the question, “Why are we here?”

The values statement is a proclamation of those timeless guiding principles that we hold most dear. It answers the question, “What is important to us as God’s children?” Values are not “created,” or “set,” they are “discovered,” because they already exist.

Together, the mission and values statements define the enduring character of our congregation that never changes, no matter what.

The vision statement sets forth in words God’s intention to improve upon that which exists today. It is a reflection of what God wants as He imparts His will to His people. It is not something dreamed up by mere humans.
