“Greetings from all of us at Immanuel”
Pastor John Messer will be leading our study today in Exodus 18:13-27, teaching us that the church, and the ministries that are part of it, are meant to be conducted by a group of people with complimentary gifts working together. Effective ministry is not meant to be done alone.
Whether you are a regular attendee, or if this is your first time with us, we want to be sure that you know how much we appreciate you joining us here for worship!
At Immanuel Community Reformed Church, Our Mission is: “Going into the community, imitating Christ, by feeding body and soul”.
Our 4 core values are: nurturing children and youth, doing acts of service, responding to real needs in the community, and welcoming the stranger.
Our hope is that we have established an atmosphere where all feel welcome here and are able to engage all that God is, with all that we are!
