Faith Formation
9 a.m. Faith Formation
Faith Formation is a time for the adult members of our congregation to gather and discuss topics concerning faith and how best to live out our Christian lives as we have been called to do by Jesus Christ.
We currently have 2 groups that meet during our Faith Formation time:
Adult Men's Group - A men's group who discuss current events and work
through curriculum chosen by their leader.
Hand-in-Hand - Women of all ages who gather to discuss current events
and follow a curriculum set by their leadership.

10 a.m. Worship
Worship at Emmanuel feels like a familial community which gathers each week to connect with one another on a deeper and more personal level than our every day lives allow. While our service includes hymns, children's moment, scripture reading, sermon, prayers of the people, confession, and monthly Communion, we would like to invite you to come and feel the Spirit of our Worship for yourself.

Children's Faith Formation
Following our Children's Moment, during our Worship service, the youth are dismissed to their respective classrooms for a time of Faith Formation. Our facilities include a nursury, equipped with a changing station and plenty of toys and activities, as well as a classroom with youth sized tables and chairs. During this time the youth of the church learn about the Love of Jesus Christ and create works of art and gifts with craft materials. Recent gifts include Mother's Day potted plants, Father's Day m&m's bowties, and Family Promise welcome cards.
