The name "Immanuel" is a reminder that "God is with us" in the midst of life's difficulties and challenges. Immanuel Baptist Church, seeking to be true to its name, aspires to be there for people, mediating God's presence, guidance and love. It is called by God to be a caring Christian community which practices God's love and shares God's News in such ways that people may find life and hope in the midst of human experience.
