Immanuel Baptist Church attempts to be grounded by faith in God, sustained by the love of Christ, and guided by the Holy Spirit. Its mission is to become compassionate, reconciling disciples of Jesus Christ who bear witness to God's love, to people in and out of the congregation. Acceptance without conditions, affirmation without discrimination--these are the goals of Immanuel Baptist Church.

The Sunday morning worship service contains the traditional and the contemporary in a meaningful blend. There is always freedom and encouragement to try new forms of worship and music.

Lay leaders assist the clergy in directing the services of worship. A Children’s Time is a part of each worship service followed by infant care for the younger ones. Sermons for youth and adults are consistently challenging and uplifting. The hymnal in each pew is published by the United Methodists, and Immanuel has compiled its own, Immanuel Sings, which contains many newer compositions not found elsewhere. The music Immanuel uses is drawn from a multitude of traditions.

Every worshiper is provided with a printed worship guide [called a bulletin] often containing readings, prayers and new music, plus announcements for the week ahead. The service includes times of quietness, unison readings and often laughter and clapping. Some worshipers dress formally; others dress casually; the choir and clergy wear robes. The experience of worshiping with Immanuel is not easily forgotten.

A time for casual gathering in the church parlor, where snacks and beverages are provided, follows each worship service.
