Immanuel Baptist Church

Excellence
We value excellence in all we do. Excellence is not the goal of our ministry, but it is the approach we take to ministry. Because the goal is to serve God in all we say and do, for and through Jesus Christ, we will do that with excellence. (Colossians 3:23)

Biblical Instruction
Biblical instruction is the catalyst for transformation in the lives of individuals and in the church. Therefore, we provide multiple avenues for people to study God's Word together. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Discipleship
We unconditionally accept others at every point in their spiritual journey and encourage them to move into a committed relationship with Jesus. Using the Bible as our guide for doctrine and practice, we seek to align every aspect of our lives and resources completely with God's will. (Hebrews 6:1)

Hospitality
We are committed in all we do to demonstrate love, unity, and a gracious welcome to all. We believe that a friendly and welcoming spirit is the demonstration of Christ-like behavior to each other and to those outside of our fellowship. (Romans 12:13)

Missions
We believe that obedience to Acts 1:8 includes support of and involvement in missions, wherever they may be. We will live out this core value through prayer, financial support, and going to mission fields. (Acts 1:8)

Evangelism
We value sharing God's story. We are challenged in God's Word to "go" in Jesus' name and share His story. It is our desire to be obedient and communicate God's story to all within our reach as a body of believers. Through our programs and people, we will share God's story. (Matthew 28:19-20)

Cultural Relevance
We want to communicate to our culture in the most effective way possible. Therefore, we are committed to understanding and engaging our culture by employing creative methods that present Christ in a culturally relevant manner. (1 Corinthians 9:22b)

Family
Discipleship begins at home. Therefore, we are committed to assisting families through strong age-level ministries that encourage spiritual growth at all stages of life. (1 Timothy 5:8)
