“Greetings from all of us at Immanuel”
Pastor Matt Lee will be leading our study today in John 13:31-38, teaching us that Jesus Christ in His glory, laid down His life for us on the cross, and for His glory, we are to lay down our lives for one another.
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!
