Our Mission, Vision, and Values

The Vestry updated the Mission, Vision, and Values at a 2/8/2025 retreat.

Bring People & God together

- Wherever they are on their faith journey

Emmanuel is a church committed to:

Worshipping and praying together, sharing our faith and trust in God
Meeting needs in our local, national, and international communities, revealing God’s love for all, and speaking truth to power
Deepening our faith and spirituality as we learn to know and love Christ better and make Christ’s love better known
Making room for everyone, valuing everyone’s contributions to our mission and ministry

ENGAGED – sharing our abundance of resources, talents, and love to make a difference in our world
SPIRITUAL – rooted in a deep relationship with God, through Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit, we work toward increasing faith, hope, and love
INCLUSIVE – welcoming all, with respect and empathy
COMPASSIONATE – showing love, care, kindness, forgiveness in all we do

The way we work towards fulfilling our vision as we respond to God's mission is summed up in the words of Henri-Frédéric Amiel:

"Life is short. We don't have much time to gladden the hearts

of those who walk this way with us.

So, be swift to love and make haste to be kind."

Come and see!
