“Greetings from all of us at Immanuel”
Pastor Matt Shults will be leading our study today in Revelation 21, teaching us that through the victory of Christ on the cross and rule of His kingdom, we now can live with the Lord. The scriptures reveal that when we come to Christ we become the people of God and God blesses us. Revelation 21 is picturing the church in its perfected state at the end of the reign of Christ. John is seeing the eternal reward being given to God’s people.
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!
