What We Believe
- Emmanuel United Church -- God With Us; -- the body of Christ made visible
- a welcoming, witnessing, worshiping community, scattered and gathered,
- with a tradition of faithfulness,
- reaping the harvest from seeds of the past, yet evolving.
- We are a member congregation of the United Church of Canada,
- ecumenical and diverse in nature.
We are
- * to worship God as revealed in Jesus the Christ;
- celebrating, and witnessing to, God's presence and love.
- * to seek education, growth and spiritual development;
- as individuals and as a community.
- * to be an instrument of God's grace through God's Holy Spirit
- ministering to each other and the world around us;
- bringing hope and pastoral care;
- serving, nurturing and enabling, ourselves and others;
- calling for justice in our community and in the world.
- * to be stewards
- of God's gifts to us
- and of creation.
It is our mission:
- * to journey in the loving, inspiring presence of God in faith, that we may grow,
may change, may reach out, may revitalize and may dream; - * to dare to see the world as God wants it and to work for that vision.
We are called:
